So I’ve just played a 10m game, where I played 29 moves in about two minutes, I was probably losing but that’s not the point. I was just about to play my next move around 10 seconds after my previous move, when I get the message that I have “lost the game by abandonment”. This is the second time this has happened to in the last few weeks, on the previous occasion I was winning handily, which was even more annoying.

What gives?

It is probably your internet server.  If it stopped communicating with the live chess server, the live chess server recognizes that and thinks you abandoned the game.  Of course, it is not fun and I hope that it has stopped happening for you.
