Ok
games aborted when opponent losing
Sort:
I came here being angry about it, but now I feel better when I see how many people experienced it.
My question: how many times a day do they restart the server?

For planned outages, it's usually once a week max. Sometimes there are more emergency restarts.
It is definitely a cheat, not a server or internet issue. It happened to me lots of times. We need to report immediately.

For a player to do it, they'd need full control of the server process. If they had that, they wouldn't be disconnecting a few people here and there.
The fact is, if a game is aborted after moves have been made, it's either a server restart, which happened earlier today, or a game in an arena when it ends.
Just happened to me. I was in a dominating position seconds away from winning and game aborted against mamaie2020

There's usually an announcement around an hour before the restart. I believe it normally shows at the top of the page, but it's been a while since I've been in live when there was one scheduled.
Two restarts in two days as well?
my opponent aborted on purpose i was winning and was lower rated so he was pose to lose 10 points then he aborted and I did not even report him
This just happened to me wtf

Is there no prior notice that there will be a server restart? One could refrain from starting games if you know that they will be aborted mid-game. This is pretty substandard.
I think extreme measures have to be taken. The same thing just happened to me, they aborted me in the middle game, strategically won, every day there are more different ways to cheat

It's no cheating. The chess.com servers have scheduled maintenance, so they need to be rebooted from time to time. That's to be expected. What's annoying is that there's no prior warning, a banner saying "chess.com will restart itself in N minutes" will be fair warning for people to know not to start games if they are likely to last longer than the time left for the maintenance reboot. Rebooting out of the blue is disrespectful to players.
There was a server reboot around the time you posted.
So that aborts games that are in progress and won't show on your profile either
