Here is the game in question: en.lichess.org/idQdBAuPjK75
I'd say I am badly winning here with the black pieces. However, about 20 minutes into the game, I had a connection issue and I left for under a minute. Yes, that's right, under a minute. I refreshed the page and my opponent had forfeited me, receiving points he definitely did not deserve.
Some of us will have connection issues from time to time. Imagine playing a longer time control game (25+0 was the time control here) and having to forfeit a completely winning position because your internet disconnects for about 30 seconds. That is absolutely ridiculous.
I like this website but I will be returning to a different chess playing website until this is fixed. This is a huge problem that makes it impossible to play longer time controls on Lichess. Your opponent should not INSTANTLY have the chance to forfeit you because you have disconnected. Simply ridiculous.
