disconnections

you gotta do something about this.

i was in a winning position, and i disconnected and my opponent basically gave me a minute before claiming victory, the time it took for my internet connection to restore itself.

i fault my internet connection, but it would be nice if it didn't show that i "left the game" so quickly.

i understand that you need to have that option for players that never come back, or players the purposefully do that in a losing position, but there's got to be a way to address these minor disconnections.

This happened to me. My app showed the opponents clock clicking down to zero, had ten min on my clock. I refresh my browser and it said I left the game with 8 min remaining. Perhaps my connection dropped for 10 sec or something . I am leaving the site if this continues. Why do I have 15 min to work with and the site is gifting win to a losing opponent,. It encourages losers to stall to hope a brief connection hiccup gifts a win. Why is the site set to disconnect a player with plenty of time and an active connection?
