I had mate in one each time though.
You did not read what the OP of this thread said. Reread the below text again.

If you have a mate in 1 than that means you need to play 1 more move to deliver that mate in 1. Which means the OP has the slimmest margin to NOT lose because you may disconnect from the game during that time. By the time you reconnect you might lose on time or the game might end up abandoned declaring your opponent the winner of the game. I have lost becuase of internet disconnections, chess.com servers being down, and storms which ended up turning off the lights in my house. It has happened a lot of times online. (HIGHLIGHTS MINE!)
I was charged of violating the Fair Play Policy by "abandoning" my game.
My apology to my opponents who had been annoyed by my
"abandonment of game".
However, this is NOT my demeanor. I DID NOT abandon my game, or any of my games, nor will I ever do it.
It was due to my losing internet connection/signal intermittently.This has been my problem whenever I play"live chess" to my chagrin.
Rest assured that I will try to screen grab whenever I lost my internet connection for proof.
Thank you.
