Abandoned game
I can't say which game you may have had it happen on but at least two of your losses today were by abandonment. Are you sure the one that caused you to wait wasn't one where you lost by that?
Not saying it was on purpose but it is possible you thought your opponent abandoned but it was you that had disconnected.
I believe there is a way some people cheat on chess.com. What they do is when they someone finds himself with an untenable position, instead of resigning like a gentleman, he will sit on his hands and not move. Then when his victim sees he is not moving, he will fall asleep or go off and do something else. Then at the last moment the cheater makes his move and his victim, no longer attentive to the game, loses on time!
To cut down on aborted games were you see a higher rated opponent abort. I think it would be best not to see player ratings till after there is no more abort option.
The game you see were it I abandoned is because of my connection lose !! I play on my iPhone and my signal will get weak and I lose my connection. If I close the app to try and regain my connection that way it will make me lose the match due to adandonement. So I have to sit and wait to see if I regain connection.
So youre guilty of what youre complaining about?
Maybe your opponent(s) have the same connection issue you do.
Well, to be fair, I don't really understand the abort by leaving the Live screen of the app. There are situations where trying to fix a disconnect may require leaving the app temporarily.
What's up with me having to wait 15-20 minutes before I'm able to play another game when another players abandoned the game. It should be them who has to wait.
Thats funny being you just abandoned our game
