Abandoned games and timeouts still sit in your score

A disconnect in a winning endgame is a result, not a blunder on move twelve. Chessigma counts what the site recorded. You still have to read why the game ended.

Filter with your eyes. If a leak is a pile of flags, the habit may be the clock, not the Italian. The report will not know unless you open the PGN.

Results are not always moves

Timeouts, abandons, and stalling are part of online chess. They move a score without a new positional leak. Treat a cluster of flags as a time-control question first.

Chessigma does not run an engine, so it will not mark the “blunder” that never happened. It will still include the game in a line’s record.

Open the last ten of that fork

If half ended on time, drill clocks or drop that control. If they ended on the same board, drill the board.

Frequently asked questions

Should I exclude unrated or abort?

Study the rated games you meant to play. A pile of aborts is a different product.

Does a timeout hide a leak?

It can. That is why the next step is always the games, not the headline.
