Players disconnecting when losing.

I'm not sure if it's the connection or the players. But, I played 4 games, and on two of them the other player disconnected when I was obviously winning. The other two I lost.

The end result was that I lost score for the games I failed, but did not receive any score for the games I should've won.

P.S. In my game against teddy48240, I eliminated his queen early in the game. And in my game against DaCy50, I had a queen and 3 pawns against his king.

What should happen when they disconnect: if they don't come back in x minutes, you automatically win the game.

What does happen now: Russian Roulette. There are also games which disband randomly (have been numerous posts about it today), so it this story does not suprise me either.

Guess why I refrain from playing games here now.

That's what I was wondering, but I thought it slightly weird that out of the 4 games, it was only in the two I was winning that it occurred.
The chances of two out of four games disconnecting is about 1/4, and the chance that it was the two I was winning is also 1/4. Combined.. it was only about 1/8 chance that it would happen accidentally. Possible, but just improbable enough to justify looking at other possible causes.
