Why did I lose?? - iPhone app

Hi,

I'm a new user of the iPhone app - using it to play online, turn-based.

In my Game List, a couple of games moved to "Finished Games" - and judging by the change to my rating, I'd "lost" them both! Fine - I probably lost on time.

But looking at the games, there's NO indication of HOW they ended - just a stupid message at the top of the screen saying "OVER". Not even a 1-0 or 0-1 or 1/2-1/2 at the end of the game history to indicate who's won!

As an experiment, I tried "resigning" one of these games, and it behaved as if the game wasn't over, asking me "Are you sure you want to resign"?

No big harm done - I figured out from the e-mail updates that I had indeed lost on time - but it's an infuriating way for the app to behave - surely one of the most important pieces of information you can give me, is *what was the result and why*??

Hope chess.com sorts this soon.

Q

Using the Iphone app is cheating and they will close your account...

They've partially fixed it - you get a '1-0, 1/2-1/2 or 0-1' at the end of the game history and also atop the screen (instead of 'OVER') when the game is finished. And if you give checkmate, you get a screeen proclaiming that you have done so, and therefore won.

However, still no indication of WHY a game was won or lost so you might not know, e.g., if your opponent resigned, or lost on time. It's basic information and should really be provided by the app.

ok! i'm new to chess. com and can't understand why it's saying i lost the game when i have more of my opponents pieces!Please explain.
