What Happened to Live Chess?

In the middle of a game which I was winning BADLY, just as I was preparing to deliver the finishing blows, the Live Chess Server decided it was time to kick me off.  I was on my iphone, and suddenly I disconnected and am sitting on a frozen screen that cannot reconnect.  Now, I am on my computer, where it keeps having the pop-up of "The Live Chess Server is not available."

This is immensely frustrating because I've had a terrible month of live chess, losing constantly, and since I'm finally about to actually gain rating points, something which I never seem to do nowadays, I am irritated that I can't finish my game (which knowing my luck, will probably count as a loss for me).  Anyone know what's going on?

By the way, here's the game for anyone curious:

By the way you were playing, I don't think you were destined to win at all. I'd say you actually have a good chance of losing. Sorry bro! Maybe you should be happy the game did what it did. 

Really?  I evaluate the position as +3 at least.  But I guess that is losing!

Although I will say that after looking at the game with computer analysis, I missed a TON of chances to instantly end the game.  E.g., after Bxc3??, white wins immediately after Nc6+! (Mate in 11).  And plenty of chances to play Ne5, etc.  But whatever!  The final position is still clearly winning.
