Stupid Abandonment Timer

I absolutely hate how abandonment works on Chess.com!

My internet is a bit unstable and I may disconnect for a few seconds and Chess.com simply counts it as an abandonment even though I have more than five minutes time on my clock. This amongst other things is the reason I play a lot more on Lichess nowadays. I'm sure many others feel the same way and I have no idea why Chess.com doesn't increases the abandonment timer to a few minutes.

I agree. I often play while commuting on the train and every now and then the signal loses for a few seconds. Sometimes chess.com says I've abandoned the game though that's not true. I wish they would change this.

Sure though it will probably be an easy game for you as I'm only rated 1200
