Chess dot com was affected, I got a Cloudflare internal server error at the end of one of my matches.


Will you consider it a stalemate if no party is able to make any further moves?


Btw a Chess Olympiad was declared drawn and shared winners after internet issues.


I would have probably considered whoever was up material as the winner, as long at there was sufficient time left.

I guess it had an active connection through the game end though, maybe web sockets. I was afraid it wasn't recorded because I played quite well!


There are actual rules for stalemate, so it would probably just be a draw.


Probably an abort. Draw awards Elo.


hahaha, this is how I found out too!
