Missing Game (Where I was Winning and Time Ran Out on Opponent)

Hi there,

Just had a Blitz game where about a minute in, the countdown (which froze) started flickering despite it saying a strong connection for both of us. 

It was like this for a bit and then it said my opponent disconnected and would auto-resign in a minute. That countdown completed, and it never resigned.

About a full minute after the auto-resign countdown completed it showed that he must have re-connected somehow as his count started going down. Like the DC auto-resign, his play time countdown also ended up going to 0, yet no resign dialogue popped up. I ended up backing out after about 5 minutes.

This game has now disappeared from my log... Figure I should have won this regardless of the reason?

Server crashed. When that happens, generally all ongoing games are aborted.

the same thing just happened to me on a 30 minute game. 

I was up a queen the guy disconnects. I wait 20 minutes to let his time expire.

Now I should get the win.

No the game is counted as an aborted game. no win no loss

I should get credited the win when his time reaches zero as is the normal practice whether disconnected or not. Otherwise you are rewarding disconnections.

please change this it time runs out on an opponent he should loose, no matter whether he is disconnected or not. 

counting the game as aborted for both players encourages people to disconnect not to suffer the loss.
