They timed out but I lost??

Hi everyone,

I just played a blitz game against a player 'shompalompapie' who was letting the clock run down quite a lot. the last move was mine, and it took a minute for my opponent to finally reach 0 seconds (I had a couple of minutes left). All of a sudden, the result box came up and said that My Opponent had won on time... The clocks had reversed; I was timed out at 0 seconds, and I was the one who had played the last move in the game; My Opponent now had two minutes on the clock, and I was down in rating (not that I can get much lower)

Is this a bug? a cheat? or a problematic server??

Regards

Maybe you a lost connection of some sort or your computer response froze. When in doubt type a space and hit return if to see if it shows up in comment. It will look like this.

If you type anything other then a space, it is really annoying for the other player if they are thinking and, IMO, bad etiquette.
