...What? I realize that might not adequately explain my confusion, so I will elaborate. You seem to start off with the somewhat reasonable complaint that Live Chess will disconnect a bit more than would be preferred, with it being preferred that it not disconnect at all. However, then you seem to start rambling about sore losers. This leads me to believe you blame your disconnection on your opponent. I assure you, your opponent could not have done that. Or rather, it is theoretically possible, but very improbable. And if your opponent had that much technical "know-how," you should be worried about other things besides a game of live chess.

I just wanted to remind those like minded people that it's only a game where losing is part of learning how to play.

I just wanted to remind those like minded people that it's only a game where losing is part of learning how to play. I also find that a better word than rambling could have been used. As i stated earlier chess is a gentleman's game and disconnecting your modem when you're losing is pretty low. I had someone try it just to be certain? Just like people who have a 1200 rating but won't play anyone with a rating of over 700.
I was just recently playing live chess with a gentleman, all of a sudden I get this error that the communication has been interuppted. I wait for communications to hook back up but they never do, and even though I had the gentleman on the ropes I look at live chess'dialog box only to show that I had lost the game. This same thing has happened to me 3 times. My internet shows no disruptions but I guess there's still some sore loosers out there. The kind that would blow up the stadium rather than let the other team win. We have people in our society like this and they learn from home. That's where they get their values and ideas. Parents please do your jobs well or else you will be looking into a camera saying I didn't believe my son could do this. It starts with trivial behavior.
