 Disconnectingdisconnected during a game and thus end up forfeiting the game. I know I don't lose any points, but it's really annoying. And I guess it not only upsets me, but it upsets my opponent as well, who might think I just left the board in a rude manner. I can assure anyone that has ever played me that I never leave the board and I usually play till the very end of the game. That's the fun in blitz. However, I've seen on other sites a very nice feature to get rid of problems such as mine. If you get disconnected, the site pings you and tries to re-establish the connection, usually successfully in my case, so I get to finish my games, even with a mediocre connection. The point I'm trying to make is that this is a very good tool to have and if the blitz part of the site ever goes official, i.e. ratings are added, it's a must-have. |

nyctalop For a long time I've gone withouth disconnects but this week has been bad. And I am having a strange thing where it disconnects me, then brings me back to the board when I reconnect, but as soon as I move anything it disconnects again. Repeat all this 5 times and finally my clock runs out. I wonder if they have been trying out some reconnect feature. I used to just lose the board forever. |

Certain blitz sites do have a ping reestablishment for the game.One of my primary blitz sites(Instantchess)has this feature.I play most of my rated blitz games on that site,infact. But my disconnects have never been from a problem with my computer but my ISP as well...but mine is top notch....Verizon3G network.But what happens is that they usually go down in my area for perhaps 3 to 15 minutes either fri or sat night around 11pm for upgrades or diagnostics to their system...and if I forget and play around that time,then i will get disconnected many times. |
