John, I have occasionally had a similar problem. There is a disconnection in the middle of the game. After several seconds we are re-connected, but my opponents time remaining has been increased by about 30 seconds. In a game today this happened at least 5 times, so the game lasted significantly longer than 10 minutes (it was a 5 min each blitz game). I should say this is happens only rarely, but I have only been playing on-line for a week or so.
John, I suspect our issues may be related,

Several Times for me now, the clock has expired for the other player, usually because the other player is experiencing some disconnection issues. I still have no problem manipulating any of the pieces on the board, and I have good connectivity. However, when the other player's time expires, the game does not end, it just stops with their clock on zero. When I attempt to navigate the site to see what the problem is, I end up losing the game because the server claims that I have abandoned it. This has cost my rating significantly and I am tired of it. Why is the game not ending when the other player's time expires?
Thanks,
John
