have you tested ure connection strength when thid happens? i used to use a cell sim dongle and had a few signal drops, even when the connection program showed full signal to the provider. its like the game freeze, then goes blank...
it helps if i then disconnect my connection from the service provider, and reconnect. after this the page reloads and i'm back.
the server manages the games played and i doubt anyone can hack you to have this effect. i'd say its internet connection related.
you can test your lag by typing /ping in live games, resulting in the lag figures of the two members playeing at that time. you can also try getting a lag figure of a mamer online, by typing /ping name (thats /ping space username)
hope this helps!
i have this in my group too, if you want to join its:

When I play live chess and my next move will be check leading to mate, at least 10 times now my screen has gone blank. Sometimes it comes back and I have lost 5 or 6 minutes of time and I have say 7 seconds left. Seems too coincidental to it not being done on purpose by someone who knows some trick to freeze the game and has hacked into your system. It only happens at that stage of the game. I rebooted my computer, checked for spam and viruses and cleaned my hard-drive, etc. Will someone who administers this site let me know what you think. Is anyone else having this problem? The site is becoming unusable.
