**Need immediate loss on abandoning game**

Live Chess needs to be able to discern a network disconnect from a window close (abandoned game) otherwise it's just Live Cheese.

I just had an opponent get into a position where they would lose their Q - and they "disconnected". Duh. They closed the window, they didn't lose their network connection. It is easy enough to track a "window close" event.

Please update live chess to be smart enough to know the difference so that players do not have to wait for a game server timeout in order for the abandoned game to be recorded as a loss. (very boring).

Thanks.
