As the title says, I recently played a game where my opponent left the game just after a few moves. While I was waiting for their clock to run out, the game ended and I lost rating points. My internet connection was stable then, so there was no way I got disconnected. Is this a glitch? Is there any way to fix this?
Sorry to say, but the servers thought that you were the one who disconnected/ lost your connection.
When you lose your connection, you are still looking at your computer or device but it can't let you know when your opponent has moved. Therefore, you sit there, blissfully unaware that the time available to you is ticking down.
There is no obvious way to fix this problem. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often to people with reliable wired connections.
I see that this has happened to you 117 times over your nearly 10,000 games and that you won by the disconnection of your opponent 105 times, so it has largely balanced out.
