I don't like chess.com's abandonment policy

I like chess.com every feature except ONE. The abandonment. If you lose internet connection then you got like 1 minute to reconnect. HOW AM I SUPPOSSED TO RECONNECT IN A MINUTE ?!

Some people have better connection than the others so l know you have atleast once lost a match due to this rule. I think we should not abandon in a minute but not abandon at all. If you lost your connection then you won't lose till the timer reaches zero so you would have plenty of time to reconnect. ( You will lose time though) This rule will make chess.com perfect for me! I know there will be plenty  of critics in this forum so, just know this is my opinion and how l feel. If you feel different then no need to criticise my forum, just suggest or tell.

ig u r roight to some point but in a 30 min game it would be bad

like 5 minutes abandonement in normal games and 2 mintes in arenas is fine

Agree

I agree that losing from disconnection/abandonment is no fun at all.

But on the other side of the coin, some users intentionally abandon, and it's no fun to be the player who has to sit there for an extended amount of time, while your opponent is no longer there.

The trick is finding a percentage of the original timer that would satisfy both parties ...

that would make stalling more common tho (dealing with a staller rn)

maybe if it sees that your wifi is off or you disconnected it gives you a 3 minute grace period. plenty of time to reconnect on a phone if your on PC or relog online

We need to give patience and hope and wait technical problems can be solved.I recently played against a rival without king in bullet mode and other match start with my pieces on disorder.I won against rival without king.lol.When I checked on historial king is there...and in match of pieces disorder all appear correctly.I denegate talk about timer to evitate "lost time" on discussions.Simply I lost lots of matches each day more frecuently by these things.In a tournament,when start, I was kicked to list of tournaments.Suddenly I return authomatically withouth try and look one victory on my round I dont played...dont need neither to discuss about a rare delay in timer with many players of India and USA.I supossed nothing can be checked neither probed but I know the true on my inner.It can't be easy to solve technical problems on such a large international website. Let's have patience, hope and faith.

could you rephrase?

(to #11) It's a struggle to read I need chatgpt to unravel this mystery lol.
(general) but yeah I think a 3 minute grace period would be good enough to help everyone as 3 minutes is enough time to run to the bathroom, wash your hands, dry them, run back to your room, turn on your phone, and then start playing the game again

Im pride of my try of comunication with people spoking other languages.English is not my native spoke as example, and I speaking by decades with Lot of English speakers.Many times personally.Im not Shakespeare I know.And Im not ridiculize neither English persons spoking Spanish.They also make their full try.I appreciate funcional comunication and the most important is the goal of understand what the hell is trying to say the other person.The most times the problem appear when some persons dint like whats I expressing.About rephrase petition of StandStarter ...I wonder what particular detail?. Mocking can be considered a form of bullying and makes one want to stop communicating. But I know it is other people's culture and funny...like Bill Hadder imitating Schwarzenegger's voice accent. We know it is just funny...but consider also to respect a bit all that Arnie has done in his life for others and his country...How many things that cannot be mimic by others...! Why not try to emulate his career or community health goals? In my personal cultural off tv shows and background it is not an act of heroism to make fun of others. It is a disgrace even though in modern pop culture, pranksters seem to be smarter and get more applause than people who work hard.Mr Lesky, A American USA diplomatic did bite a hot pie on our familiar table lunch. Bite from both ends and blow...Smoke appears ...my mother did cooked.He say: Smoking Chesterfield cigars in a terrible spanish and we all laugh friendly.

Ok reading your post story to learn English, very rich and fluid style.

The tournament I wass kicked my first round Was 10 seconds bullet matches

I'm not abandon neither run time.

we never accused you of doing so.

I suppose I will continue to report anomalies in whatever language is necessary, whatever it may be... I hope for good treatment. Please don't react like I'm crazy... a lot of people are having problems. Maybe nope many of you . But, in different orders of life, we can have different problems. Imagine someone ignores you. Maybe no on this website. It may be in other situations. How you would feel ?.Please be empath.As example,imagine all your moves on delay.In talk,eating,working...Can you live normal?Some similar many of us experiment playing.Is a big Obstacle to play.Im not blaming nobody.Understanding, please

The server can't see that and the server determines abandonment

please also I want that you understand that im not slang talker way style neither formally style... so much but, even,Im choose my own sintaxys.Generally I can communucating.I know how and what I express and the way Im making that.I choose thats and I despice excess of formalism, etiquette and talking excessivelly formally...I observe the excess of formalism as sign of superficialism , snobism and a need of appareance show.Again on thats, im not blaming others of false superficialism or frivolity and mentioned things.But many people with mentioned characteristics talked to me on excellently sintaxt.Also the worst people I knowed.Is not the essential to myself....

"I "never said that's...We? ...I am speaking singular. I am not responsible for the others.

if it wasnt there than ppl good abandon a game in a completely loosing position and you would gain no elo becuz the game was abandoned
