player cheated against me and chess.com did nothing about it

Hi bruppa,

As I understand the rules on chess.com for live chess an opponent who loses connection is given a short time period to reconnect before defaulting the game.

Recently I have experienced similar issues with opponents disconnecting briefly, then reconnecting multiple times.  I have also witnessed similar from games I have been observing.  I don't think the issue is deliberate or intentional from these players.  More so I think it is a server issue that I'm sure chess.com will resolve eventually.  Also I don't necessarily think the connection strength displayed for an opponent is very reliable.

If it's any consolation I viewed your recent blitz game against dubija and I think that mistakes were made from both players, so either result could have been the eventual outcome.

It's just a matter of common sense correlation. Every other time that someone with such a good internet connection keep on disconnecting so many times, the game ended and they were reported for violating the fair play policy. And that happened every day, very often. So why was this time any different? What made it the exception, when compared with every other suspect game?

The exception being that his ISP managed to reestablish a connection where others did not. It happens.

So, how do you think that dubija got an advantage from his connection problems?
