Is there a cheat where you can abort games mid game?

I was just in the middle of playing a game and I was probably marginally winning but on my opponents move, the game aborted. Not only did I not come away with any points, but the game doesn’t even show up on my archive. Is there a cheat or more likely something went wrong with the server?

No. There was an announced server restart at 11pm PST.

I saw the announcement yesterday afternoon.

As mentioned, there was a scheduled live server restart. When that happens, all ongoing games are aborted

I was playing today against “Smasher9009” user and after a series of blunders on his side and with a clear win for me was a matter of seconds(!), a very convenient “game abort” put an end to our game.

This happened around 5pm sydney time. If maintenance is scheduled, it should be announced before the game.

I have screenshots to provide to the admins of this platform to investigate, otherwise i must think that some users have found the way to force this.

As mentioned above server restart happened, when this happens games don't count if your winning or losing unfortunately.

Thanks

Wait, that server restart happened a week ago.
