What is Double Forfeit? many chess player almost never Encounter this on Chess.com, So Let's talk About it. A double forfeit in chess.com refers to a situation where both players are disqualified or lose the game simultaneously. This typically happens when both players run out of time, or if both players violate the rules (like abandoning the game or using illegal assistance). In terms of time control: If both clocks reach zero in blitz or bullet games, it can result in a double forfeit because neither player won within the allotted time. It's an unusual result since normally one player wins when the opponent runs out of time, but in certain cases, both can forfeit.

It's not possible to have both players run out of time here and OTB if both clocks are out of time because the clock wasn't stopped and the win claimed, then it's a draw.

Here, if both players get disconnected then it can also help a draw.
