so many people with a higer rating than me abort the game?  im fairly new to this site(considered to some) so i am just curious.

Probably, they clicked the game mistakenly but want a more even match.

Or from what I understand, some people don't like to play black so if they get black they abort until they get white.

* If someone tries to click on the name/seek above or below you and the seek list moves.

* some games where the seek criteria are identical get auto - matched and the other person has decided they don't want to play or no longer have time.

* They wanted to play the opposite color

* They may have wanted a higher rated opponent
