Opponent Used Disconnect Program

100% nonsense. A blanket statement like that one shows you have no actual technical knowledge of what you're saying. There is not one credible description of how a "disconnect hack" could possibly work. Do you believe in chemtrails too?

If YOU wish to be taken seriously, since you now claim to be a "software developer", then propose a method with which it could theoretically be possible to use "disconnect hacks". It should be very simple for you. Unless you're just talking with "prepared sentences", like you claim I'm doing (yet, that's pretty much all you've done here).

4 years later and this is still an issue, at first I didn't believe it. I have a VPN and it still happened, I'll reconfigure it. Second, I was able to connect to the internet on another browser only Chess.com had the issue. I rarely lose connection only on chess.com. 

To set everyone's minds at ease, there is no disconnect hack.  If they attack our live chess server with a denial of service attack, they could conceivably take down the entire game, but to just kick you, they'd need access to your account in specific. 

This is really easy to see on our end, as we can see if one player is in a lot of games where others disconnect.  That doesn't happen.  Gor a person playing games, it cFn seem like, particularly if you're in a good position, that this is happening.  However, that is not the case! 

Shaun I wish I could believe you, both the timing if disconnects are no coincidence. It doesn't happen when I'm losing only when I'm winning. I guess do I believe you or my lying eyes. At least I know it's Chess.com end. Seriously, do you think everyone is making up the same scenario?

Yes. It's called Confirmation Bias.

The issue persists. I was wondering what is happening. This happened to be four times in the last two days..  

Consider changing your ISP.

get a proper internet connection.

It's very proper dear. ..

Evidently not.

A slight connection problem, over 7min in the clock for both players, no check, and black wins after a connection problem with a next to useless move. Not abandoned, no info of any kind except for "Black won". Everyone who hasn't encountered this issue could kindly not reply, as it floods this topic with useless replies.

Oh, and this has happened to me before, on atleast two different connections, which are both relatively stable. And i've reconnected before, this happened in seconds.

Disconnection happens to me too. Our modem dies quite often. I agree with chess.com on this one, that they don't see irregularities.

The title of this article should be. You know you are spending to much time online when you're getting disconnected.

It literally says "game abandoned". It means you took too long to play that move (especially significant since you were in your first 10 moves). The amount of time it takes to assign abandonment varies with game length as well. Please note that it won't show how long you took to play your last move, so we can't tell how long you were away from your game.

What you are describing is just not factual. If the clocks flash, it signals that you have lost connection. Unless that happened to both players, you'd never get the win. Ever.

Anyone else have an unexplained significant rating drop in the past 30 days or so? 

Though, it is not just a game with me. I notice when I hit a high bar e.g. a peak rating the connection goes out.
