Same here,.. After 20 minutes into the game. Opponent is losing. And suddenly it says game is aborted !!! .. This is the third time it happens in two months. I think all of them were from India. .. I feel very frustrated.
The servers here in India run on American web infrastructure and website security company, Cloudflare. These servers keep crashing routinely for some reason. Even the Chess Olympiad Final between Russia and India was ruined because of it. I don't know if this is the only problem, but I can assure you, normal accounts cannot abort games when they feel like it.
I see. Now I understand. Thank you.

I have the same problem right now with a player from India. When he got into the worst situation suddenly the game is aborted. I wonder is there anyone who takes care of it at chess.com ?
Successo anche a me adesso, come si contattano gli amministratori?

There was a server restart. All games get aborted when that happens.
Game aborted by a losing opponent after around 10 minutes of playing. See Screen capture attached. It happened to me before. How's that possible? It was not a server reboot as I was able to immediately start another game with a different player. 
how can someone that has very slim chances of winning a game abort the game in the middle of the game?????
the same thing just happened with me, 15 mins back or so

It was either the Live server restarting or an Arena game and the Arena ended.
I was playing a game with a person whose rating were decent higher than me and I was about to win. Suddenly game stopped with a message that the game aborted. How is it possible???

As in some of the other posts in this topic, a live server restart. That aborts all ongoing games.
WTF is going on chess.com
Game aborted at checkmate? No compensation given. The opponent just got away like that. Is it not disrespecting?
Ah, you claimed this community is naisu, huh? Then fix this [removed -- MS]. Server restart my [removed], is server unplug 101 times each day? Do not piss on the power outlet yo, electricity can shock the [removed],
