Disconnections are related to network problems. Personally I get disconnected very often when I use a modem. Almost never on ADSL. We will improve the games to automatically reconnect and continue the game when it is possible.
It's a hacking item, I won't mention the name, but I've seen it used many times. It just temporarily makes your connection dissapear which is long enough for you to disconnect from the FOD server. Your internet then reconnects.
Sometimes connection to the server is losted due to high overload of users all connecting to the server simultaneously.
There are no coincidences in chess - there are only "fake gamers" out there - so don't feel bad about losing your game in the final second. It's happened to me several times.
I got the same thing too! I had won the game utterly, had much more material than my opponent, and he had still 1 second of time. Then: poof!... my connection broke. Gone were my points. Is this coincidence? Or did he do this in some dirty way?
