Just join a real chess club, if you live in a country with bad internet. Its actually a lot better if you play chess face to face. And who know's you might make some friends a long the way.
The internet isn’t the problem it’s there server. Once the auto resign clock is active that’s it game over, it won’t let you reconnect. In my experience of such issues my own Wif and
….. my own WiFi and Internet connection isn’t the problem at all it’s the server.

I just auto-resign with 3min on the clock at a level position. Life is going on, we have to answer a call or the door. What's the point of a 10 min game if I can't use the time? It's the first time it happens to me in 800 games and I think it's absurd. When I'm in a losing position or just blunder I resign immediately. This auto-resign rule is insane.
Also. I want to know where is this rule written. I have looked for it, but I don't see it anywhere.

its a facepalm moment when someone says "where is this found" before checking support.chess.com
chess.com literally setup a large bank of answers to faqs and you ignore it
wow, some people go out of their way to hate on a website

you are seriously thinking for 5 minutes in the opening on a single move
if you do have to think that long... youre part of a tiny minority (most people who do that are stalling)

#44 it will
dont make unfounded statements without proof when others dont find such problems at all; and especially stop thinking that nothing is your fault
It's painful. I'll make a move, open a DM. Answer it.. come back... in like 6 seconds. And watch my entire auto-resign count down from like two minutes. I have tried with Game Booster Priority on and off. And it's happening more and more frequently. I'm connected to a strong wifi connection thru fiberoptics.
This makes literally no sense, I chose a 60 minute game with my friend in a private lobby for a reason, we had a good game going and I won due to him disconnecting for a minute. He had like 45 minutes on the clock, just honestly why?
Make it an option in private games, disable it for the highest amount of time games even maybe. I thought chess was the kind of game people play over long periods of time potentially? This is non-sense.
