i know... i was playing a lighting tournament, already lost a few games and coming third, but suddenly my opponent lost by time. I was really happy but then the computer said I lost on time, instead of him! It really is irritating.
Im not sure how this can happen, probably connection as you suggested in the title.
I played 6th move: message came up disconnected with opponent on play...his clock ran down but I was declared loser. ...Doesn't matter in the order of things but irriatating. How can it happen
