I know it doesn't. I occasionally play some tactics while the other player is taking their turn. There are circumstances where the game is interrupted, but checking stats does not do it. This is easily checked.
Game Abandoned Bug / Hack?
Also, when the current game list is checked, the next opponent move is shown while in the current game, it has not taken place.
I have the same problem recently. Today I lost 3 games - Abandoned --- while waiting for my opponent to make a move. Time to switch to lichess.org ?
i had this same issue, i think is't a hack since it has happen to me more than 5 times, always when am ahead and about to win.
The message on the right side of the screen will say that the opponent has disconnected and the count down starts. after a minute am informed that i have lost the game. Chess.com should take up this matter seriously else it will go out of hand. am ready to provide the opponents name to further help resolve this issue.
Do you have a game id?
It would be best if you submit a bug report right after this happened so we can look at it with our dev team to see what happened.
I know I just played a game took meybe20 sec to think, prolly not even that much, was black then I made move immediately popped up white wins due to resignation, Wtf?! I still had over 20 mins on game clock, this is why I only play daily games, every single day I try to play timed games this app screws me in some way, the service is sketchy where I live, but how the hell can I be auto resigned with 20 mins of game time taking less than a min 2 move then ASA I move I'm resigned? how can that be possible, fair, or sensible of this app to do that, just damn it gets me mad cuz it keeps my rating in the toilet on anything other than daily games, which aggregates me to no end. Just ridiculous I get resigned in a game with over 20 mins on clock, MAKES NO SENSE
I have same issue today. It’s so buggy. I reckon that the game is often help up and return when my time just remain about 5 minutes, while my opponent still have plenty of time (more than 20 minutes .). It seems that opponent made their move, but the screen did not update. It’s very frustrated.

If you haven't already, you should update your app to version 3.9.16 (2)
I think it's an issue of bandwidth and latency. I have the issue when i'm in the coutryside. In the big city, it's ok !

There are known bugs on the previous two versions.
I am sorry for the horrible question, I'm new and started playing chess a month ago thanks to queen's gambit series, wow was hocked since episode1. I have a very good chess set from ages ago, i walk by it 100 time a day and i just ignored it.
Back to horrible question. Maybe it has been posted and answered already here, but i'm not a big readier, head start spinning to find what i need on forums.
How do we know if a member is not using stockfish side by side while playing? i noticed some players some time take longer then usual to strike a move.
I'm sorry and thank you. I love this site.

I suffered this bug a lot of times today and yesterday. I get game abandoned loss when I am waiting for opponents move. This is terrible bug and it affects rating. Do programmers get paid on this site to fix things or are just lazy ??
Until a month ago, I also had similar issues. I've been playing 3-minute blitz, all of a sudden the opponent's internet connection appears as one red line (meaning loss of connection), and mine as full or three lines (none to low ping), and as soon as the opponent's timer reaches 0:00, the game freezes for a while and the opponent wins, with the reason being "opponent resign" (despite the fact I didn't even do so). This results in unintended loss of blitz (and bullet) points and this unfair issue should be fixed as soon as possible.
I never had such an issue in lichess.org, but I hope this (chess.com) site will improve as well
Same here. I've had several games "abandoned" because the site claims I lost connection even though I verified each time that my internet connection was up and running.
It's very frustrating as it artificially hurts my rating and, more importantly, interrupts games.

Loss of connection to the site Live server doesn't mean your internet is down. You just couldn't reach the Live server. That can be caused by a number of issues, but see the following for things that can minimize the issues in your end.

This has happened to me twice in 10 minute blitz games, once yesterday and once right now. The game will be on about the 23rd move. I'll make my move, and then wait for my opponent to make his move. He makes his move, but it doesn't get reported to me. My screen remains the same, showing my opponents clock ticking down. During this time, if I get suspicious, open a new browser page and check the list of blitz games I have played, it shows that this game is a loss. This is even when the opponent clock is still ticking down. This is not a internet connection issue, because I have a steady connection all through this.
