I suffer from frequent short disconnects. I just lost another game from a 5 second disconnect. It wasn't even my turn. Yes I was a piece behind but I felt my overall position was better. We all know the Eval bar can swing. The threshold for an auto abandon is set way too high. I really can't continue using the site like this. I'm already at a disadvantage in losing time, now I can't ever play from behind? Please fix this.
How much time you have to reconnect depends on the time control but if you're disconnected in a losing position, that time is shortened.
