Cheating with disconnection

Sort:
deNigris

I was playing with moh-kingali and very close to win when a repeated disconnection occurred until I lost because my time was gone. As a requested several time the clock on disconnection (whatever is the cause?!) should be stopped and if it was done intentionally the player should be santioned trowing him/she out of the site. Nobody would play any longer in chess.com if this bug is not corrected.

I don't understand. The other players was disconecting until you losses the game?

I think de Nigris might be a conspiracy theorist.  The way I interpret his complaint is that he gets to a winning position, and something the other player does causes de Nigris to disconnect repeatedly until his time runs out

For this to be the case, there would have to be some pretty decent hackers with nothing better to do than play random games at chess.com, and arrive in losing positions on purpose, only to send DoS attacks to their opponent, thereby winning the game on time.  Hmm.  Now that I think about it, this is probably exactly what is happening.  Erik, you need to get your staff working on this issue immediately, and have them devote at least 10 hours per day.  As de Nigris said: "Nobody would play any longer in chess.com if this bug is not corrected."

P.S. For those non-English speakers and others not well acquainted with sarcasm, anything after "Hmm" in the second paragraph should not be taken seriously.

if you are disconnected the clock should stop. also can admin sort out the adverts i was playing in a tournament earlier and an add for well known cough syrup came up on top of the board!! I couldnt play cos the add wouldnt move! I did win due to my opponent apparently aborting the game. but thats not the point.
