Opponents abandoning games - I lose rating?

And now it happened again - my opponent vanished after I escaped a trap he made, resulting in him losing a knight.
Still waiting for him. If I end up lose rating again I'm done with this site
Yes, I lost rating again, after waiting for my opponent to make his move for 12 minutes

Just don't use tht pawn App. U can do it per Web.Bruh
Ohhhh! Ok that’s why you let the time get run out in our game ! I got it brother :)
Ok, I'll give that a try then. Just seemed easier with the app, a tablet and Bluetooth on my small table than a clunky PC laptop. Going for another try :)
@Shrava9 hi! I never saw your chats, but now I saw it in the history! Interesting that I lost on time according to the site - White Pawn on the tablet saw you not making any moves. That explains a lot! I saw that Khalim has made improvements in the app since then - I hope this bug is fixed now :)

EDIT: It is not

All three of the games as you timed to. Maybe, they disconnected, reconnected and made a move, and then your time ran out.

@tomaswestlund No worries brother :) . One advice I just want to give that Play on Browser rather than on any app. Browsers Like - Crome , firefox , etc are very efficient and they don't have any glitch of time , or opponent left the game , etc...... Ok brother :)
Thanks @Shrava9 - I'll try out playing via the web! I will keep close eyes on Khadim's next version though :)
