Hi there, 

Can someone please explain to me why, if my opponent abandoned our game, he was granted the win? 
I assumed that if a game were abandoned, or resigned, the player abandoning it automatically concedes defeat? It seemed a bit unfair with loads of moves left to play. 

Thanks,

You were the one who abandoned. 

You probably just lost your connection and were not even aware when it happened.
