1 minute reconnect rule

I would like to voice my concerns about the 1 minute reconnect rule. I understand the reason for it, no one wants to sit there waiying for an abandoned game to time out.

My problem is that when I get disconnected from a game, it is because my internet has dropped out, not because I am losing and just abandon the game.

When my internet droppes out it takes a lot longer than 1 minute to reconnect, and by the time I get back to the game its over and I have lost.

Surley 1 minute it too short of a time for you to end the game like this, I would like to see an option where I get to set a reconnect time, and if another play agrees then they play me.

Thanks

I play 10min games, and for the most part everything is fine and I don't get drop outs that often, its just that in the last two weeks or so I have had a run of them, both when I have been winning and losing games, now when I start a game I am getting a warning not to abort or leave games and to adhere to chess.com fair play policy.

As you say Marc7 a longer reconnect time could be put in place for longer timed games, lets face it, we want to win a game on our skill, not because the reconnect clock has timed out

totally agree with Decerto, i have an unstable connection and it always take longer than 1 minute to reconnect, and i believe many players suffer the same problem.
the 2 minutes rule was just fine... it's true that the waiting time can be frustrating when your oppenet flee in a lost position, but it was a minor sacrifice to have fairer playing conditions.
and you could always use that time browsing the internet :) 

So how do we get the ruled changed back to 2min

I'm tired of the 1 minute rule, lost too many games to it.

I just had two opponents in a row that lost because of this rule
