Has this happened to anyone else?? Just in the middle of a game- nowhere near checkmate- and the app called it! Shocking! Has this happened to anyone else??

Do you have a link to your game?

Yeah. I think a mod can settle that if you have the game link

Just looked at your game history. What appears to have happened is your game was “abandoned”, not ended by checkmate. This likely happened due to you having a wifi connection spike or your device turned off during the game.

I rechecked and the game was called for abandonment- which is annoying because I also hadn’t abandoned the game! But- at least it makes more sense. I had only toggled out of the game while waiting for my opponent to move.
