why does it say " white timed out?"

@KenulL_76 I was actively thinking on Nc6. it was MY turn when this happened.

Let me know if I understand correctly.
It's your tourn and you have more than a minute on your clock, when suddenly time skip to zero and you lost on time.

But the strange thing is that the minute displayed last less than few seconds. Is that correct?

@KenulL_76
@Ender88 It's my turn and I still have over 30 seconds (not red) on the clock, when suddenly the game ends decisively by server.

@Cooperating I'm pretty sure there will follow at least more than 10 of your "NO, NO, YOURE WRONG! FOR ME IT'S DIFFERENT!"-posts.

Please read carefully:

1. When your internet connection gets lost, you most likely won't recognize it (i never did).
2. When your internet connection gets lost, your time on the clock is now only rendered by your browser BUT the "true/correct/your game related" time is running on the lichess-server, which you CANNOT SEE, because you are disconnected - and it's running down. DOWN!
3. When your internet connection gets lost, your move will not reach the lichess server. For the server's point of view you didn't move. YOU DIDN'T!.

So, in the end you lose without knowing, because the lichess-server's time runs down to zero. That's how it works, regardless of how often you shout "NO, NO, YOU'RE WRONG - FOR ME ITS A DIFFERENT SITUATION!".

I know, i know, your case is different...

The end (at least for me).

Good luck on your lifelong chess journey.

@derkleineJo It's my turn and I haven't made my move yet when it happens.

Maybe you had the board flipped?

I can't understand your answer.
For example we start a game, I have to make second move (aka is my turn) and have many minutes on the clock.
I still don't make the move and after few seconds I lose on time.
Not possible due to disconnection.

He can't be disconnected before his turn start, otherwise he will not see opponent move nor the turn starting.
He didn't make any move so even if disconnected his clock and opponents clock should have synchronized on the last move received.
Now computer clock are really precise (on nano second scale) no way his clock lost 30s in few seconds.

So if events happens as described I hardly see how disconnection can play any role here.
I also had the feeling that sometimes something doesn't add up about time syncing, and would like to dig into how lag is compensated and time synchronized, but I find no way to get server side timing to compare with client side one.
