While playing 5|5 Blitz games, I have lost due to "abandonment" after spending approximately three minutes thinking, without any prompt ever being displayed. Shouldn't I be able to spend any amount of my time that I want to thinking? And shouldn't there be a prompt before I lose on "abandonment?" I am using Focus Mode--is that the issue? Thanks for any help.
Were you still connected?
Probably you lost your connection while thinking. When you disconnect, they can't display any prompts for you.
There is no resident client on your machine that can act independently of the server.
