I won a match and my opponent stalled. Stalled to the point the match wouldn’t even end, even though both the auto-resign and the game clock reached 0:00. There was nothing I could’ve done, at least nothing obvious to me, so I closed the app and returned to see that the game wasn’t even registered as a win, in fact it wasn’t registered at all in the app.
Opponents can leave and return to matches as they please. Why? I don’t know! Lichess simply prevents this by allowing you to simply claim the win when an opponent leaves. They can stall and lead to situations like mine and there is nothing anyone can do about it, but sit and stare at the screen like a duck and just wait until it sorts itself out. Why? I don’t know!
The only times a game won't be saved to the archive is if there's a server restart or it's an Arena game when the Arena ends. In both cases, the games are aborted
Did this happen just before you posted?
