Network connection problems

Hi everyone

is the second time this week that I lose a game just because I had a connection error and my opponent could claim the win while I had still time to play.

I always *always* wait for timeout... Why do people behave like this? And what is this feature about?!?
I mean, I understand its purpose, but it's unfair if the game is classified, I think.

What is yout thought on that?
because We dont like sitting and waiting for 10 minutes. and you can only play 1 game at a time. also the timeout happens after 2 minutes which is already quite long.
What's the difference for you if I'm sitting and thinking or if I have a network problem?
To me it's like stealing points.
well 99% of the time they do it when they are lost. and what network issues, because having a time out for 2 minutes if quite long.
So I'm the unlucky 1%, you say. Sorry, not too much convincing for me.
