I was playing an online tournament recently, had a crushing rook-queen-rook pressure on one file with a knight on the 6th rank and a pawn on the 7th, when suddenly our internet connection went out, when it came back; I was so down in time that I blundered and lost the game.
It was especially painful since my opponent beat me the previous game and I was looking for revenge, also because of the internet connection (already lost 3 minutes in a 10 minute game when it started)
Especially painful because this caused me drop below 1600.

Or don’t, it is ultimately up to you.
