the time is supposed to be 20 seconds. if you are getting aborted faster than that, then something is amiss.
Games Auto-Aborted by Server before I can make my First Move in Live Chess !
Sort:
The Moment the Game appears,it gets Aborted by Server .. I'm not sure how many seconds it took ,after it says ' Your Seek/Challenge has been Accepted' ,for the Game to appear,tho.
Normally,there's enuf time to make my First Move ,tho this has happened before,but not continuosly .
Seems to be Ok Already .. Tnx !
.. but there was a 'glitch' juz now,I think .. Immediately after 1 Game showed up,it says I Won by Resignation .. but How could I hv Won by Resignation,when I haven't even made my first Move ,as White ?
did your rating change from the 0 move game? another possible reason for a game to abort in 1 second, or to be "won by resignation" after 1 second, would be maybe your opponent changed their mind about playing, and immediately clicked abort or resign. if they have slightly less lag than you, it would appear as abort or resign as soon as the board shows up for you.
Yes,I got points for it ... It has happened another time too when I was in a Live Tourney.
( My Archive shows '0 Moves' but I Won by Resignation !)
.. but the 'Resign' Button only comes up after both White's and Black's First Moves .. My Opponent cld only hv hit the 'Abort' Button ,rite ?
.. kinda Weird !
Btw,that 'Abort Problem' came back again,on n' off !
May I know if there has been a recent change in the Rules ? coz juz now I played a Live Chess Game ...
Before it started,it says if I Win,I get 5 points,etc...
After my 2nd Move as Black,my Opponent resigned but I only got 3 points and not 5 as stated earlier .
This same thing has happened twice already,recently .
Btw,I juz realised that the 'Glitch' I was referring to ,in my previous Post,was only for the Normal Live Chess Game I played and not the Tourney One,coz in the Tourney Games,there is no Abort Button .. it's Resign Button right from the start but for the Normal Game,the Abort Button changes to Resign after each Player's 1st Move.
Tnx.

This is the first time I've heard of this happening. Its not something we changed so no, it shouldn't be happening.
Ok,Tnx .
I was gonna copy n' paste both the statements here juz now,but I logged out already.
If it happens again,I will do so.

This also happened to me once, when my opponent had an extremely high glicko rd. Blind guess: is it possible that you calculate the winner's new rating based on the loser's new rating (instead of his old rating)?
Nope,I wasn't but I was also thinking that it cld be my Opponent who was maybe playing more than 1 game at the same time .
I checked his Game's Archive but I can't be sure/tell if he was.
The Game Link is not showing up ,his UserName is ProudToBeIndian .. The Game was played today,8/2/12

Were either of you playing two games at the same time when this happened?
Definitely not, it was the only game I played on that day (http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=232325471). I remember it well because I saw my oppenent drop from 1200 to 1030 due to that loss.
A look at my opponent's archive reveals that he was apparently playing two simultaneous games, which of course explains the issue.

Sred, I need to know if the points shown in the game chat area at the beginning of the game were the same as what you got after the game ended.

Sorry for not being clear about that. No, I got 2 points while the chat area promised 4 or so (I don't remember the exact amount, only that it differed from what I got). But as I said, it appears that my opponent started and lost another game while he played me, so his rating was already lowered when he gave up.

It has been confirmed its because your opponents were playing more than one game at a time.
I juz got >7 of my Accepted Seeks ( in succession ) automatically Aborted by Server ,immediately after it appeared after my Seek/Challenge has been Accepted ..
I can't even make my First Move ,especially if I'm White ; If I'm Black,I hv to make it Real Quick,else it will get aborted too !
As a Result,I can't play the Games.
I think maybe it's due to my Slow Connection .
Can Chess.com make the time before these 'Auto-Aborts' occur ,to be slightly longer ?
( Also,I think I get 'credited' with all these Aborts coz I didn't get to make my First Move )
Tnx Very Much !
