The server of chess.com got an update or restarted. This happens once in a while and all games played at that time will be aborted

What a bs reason. It happened to me to just this minute. I dont buy it.

I agree, was just +8 and maybe two moves from winning. Then after opponent took a couple of minutes sizing up options suddenly game aborted. Seems like some sort of flaw to me....has never happened when I'm losing badly!

Agreed.

Played live and game aborted - just as I took the lead. Disappointing that this can happen. It does not happen in the Daily Chess format. This puts me off playing live.

This has happened to me 3 times recently, all with winning positions. Chess.com -- this ruins live play. Whatever loophole is being used, please close it. To you late game abort folks: I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

It is election fraud. File big lawsuit. Change the facts to suit your version of reality.

I think this happens when nobody plays for a while, like one minute.

Can’t be that, my game just aborted a couple of seconds after a legal move

There was a server restart. A big red banner appears with a 10 minute warning and a countdown (on my screen when it happens anyway). There is no vast conspiracy afoot to deny victory to those in winning positions. Conversely and unsurprisingly I never see any threads or comments from those who were spared defeat by this.

Those of us spared defeat slink off into the shadows snickering and say nothing to anyone about our good fortune.

You are always snickering in the shadows, win or lose.

I was playing a tournament against someone 200 points higher. You know what he did? He sacked all his pieces, and I was confused. Then the game aborted because the tournament was over, and I realized that there was only like a minute left in the tournament. I found that funny and laughed.

This happened to me, it seems like this must be a very old issue. I was about to mate someone and then it just said “game aborted” I could play games immediately afterwards so there was no server shutdown, and when I looked at my game logs there was no record of match as it didn’t finish and no one won. TL;DR: still an issue in 2021, I was about to win, wasn’t a server issue

 

The live server had a scheduled restart around the time you posted  and all ongoing games during a restart are aborted.
