Played a lot here and became very familiar with typical ways of people to run away from loses, so I suggest:
First, there must be some sort of simple estimation for each variant, who is winning side, who is loosing based on time used, occurrence of fast moves (probably most important criteria!) and pieces balance.
- block "Good game" or "Well played" messages or similar from winning side (optionally, if wining side made a lot of fast moves or balance was too superior). Mostly players use this message to say "look how good I was", when they won first game after dozen of looses which is of course funny and ridiculous.
- block adding time from winning side to loosing side (best idea here is allow adding time only if evaluation shows good moves for side which time is added).
- count leaving as instant loss in anonymous games with fast time control, every time i'm playing from mobile win is when green dot became gray, not when you put mate.
These things may seriously repulse new players who try to play without signing in. Oh, and it would be great to be able to choose variant and games from list in mobile app (it's almost impossible to find variant players in it), but this is different story.
