I've had two people in a row "win" by letting their clock run to 0, which automatically gives you a win in the new Live Chess evidently.  It was also evidently a planned strategy as they turned off chat right after the  games started. 

How long would it take to fix this:  if (opponent[b].time.left == 0)  AddLoss(opponent[b]);

Should that really take more than half a day. C'mon.

Talk about it... I was playing a game and then my PC crashed, I still had lots of time in my clock. I had to close firefox with the manager and then I had to open it again, but my game was lost. They should have to wait until my clock gets to 0 and THEN I loose, after disconnect there is only a 1 minute time to get back, that sucks if your firefox crashes, doesn't give you enough time. I was winning BTW.

Same thing happened to me. I think clock to 0 is too much. but maybe 3 minutes. Or a valid percentage of your time left.

Yes I agree. My wireless connection sometimes goes out very briefly and I'm winning my game and I'm back straight away and I have 'lost by abandoned game' after being away for 2 minutes. It's stupid, it should be 5 minutes. I mean I think about moves for longer than 2 minutes sometimes.

 

Chess.com you need to give people longer to reconnect this is too short of a time and it's frustrating.
