disconnection

Does everyone agree, that when you disconnect from live chess, that you shouldn't lose points from the game that you were in?

Certainly, the loss of rating points is annoying. After all, we didn't actually lose the game by our play, but by a cause not totally within our control. But simply changing disconnection consequence to no ratings points lost would encourage bad behavior such as players in a losing position to simply generate a disconnection, radically distorting play in a manner that would be grossly unfair.

The new version of Live Chess, due out in a few weeks from what erik has said, should reduce the disconnection problems so much that we will all forget about the beta version in a hurry.

yah please i Agree to that most of my disconnection are only 2  moves its not fair for both parties specially to those who have higher ratings , hope Live chess would do something about this or lose members cause of this thank you

hey not only for high rating but for low rating also

i easily defeat 1000 rating people

but due to disconnections my current rating is 800

:(

i agree that those games should not be counted

or there should be a chance given to rechallange for those games later on to recover your lost points
