Live Chess... BAD!

My opinion of live chess has changed for the worse! I got into a position where it wouldn't allow me to move my rook... even if it was a legal move!

The chess.com guys have a lot of work to do.

    So yeah, I don't really worry about my rating on live chess (I think it's around 1000 due to bugs) I just focus on keeping my chess.com rating high, (1434) or even take it higherWink Things I do like about live chess include being able to play, well, live. I don't have to wait a day for the other person to move, and sometimes I like doing that.

    It is disgusting and frustrating to lose games with a better position or a decisive material advantage by just being disconnected abruptly (intentionally? or not i dont know). I began to suspect that some players have some kind of a software or hardware that can do this.
