Hi guys, I was  playing a blitz a little while back.  I was almost a full Queen up  (I was 8 points up) and then something extremely bad happened I lost my connection for a few seconds and bam they declared me as the  loser... WHAT? This is just insane.. I had lost my connection for a couple of seconds and they just declared me as the loser despite me having more than  a minute on a clock when my opponent even had less time than I did, okay I do understand that during a rapid game or even a daily game this may come off as handy. As a lot of people may just walk away for no reason for a while in rapid games, but  BLITZ? Really? They are 3  minutes long.. After all even if someone gets to a disappointing result how much more time would they have on the clock left anyway? A minute or so or 2 minutes at best? Come on man at least give this much time to come back, losing like this is  very upsetting.  Once again I understand the rules but if you see my point,  a blitz is just 3 minutes, there is not even a good chance that anyone's time will be wasted, can't opponents wait for 1 minute? What is your opinion on this guys to me this is absolutely ridiculous, but then again that is my opinion I think they should definitely remove the time that they give us to come back and exchange it for the time we have left on our clocks.

Oh and no I  am not showing hate on this website, in fact I love this website . It's much better than the competition, but then this  thing sucks as far as I am concerned.

Sorry about that, chess.com was thinking that you left the app/website, happens a lot to players. It's just to prevent players from abandoning the game in a losing position.

Yes, you have got a good point in there that people will abandon their losing positions. However I am not saying to have such a feature in Rapids, yes that can be extremely annoying in Rapids but Blitz are so short to the fact that by the time  they get to a losing position most of their time is lost, what can waiting for a 1 minute and 50 seconds do to you at max? Nothing much, right?
