Please improve reconnection time / roping on disconnect
Right now, when the game loses connection to the server, it is better to force quit and start it again rather than wait for it to reconnect. On my internet, the former usually loses me one turn (and all 30-second extensions) while the latter often times me out of the entire game. Granted, in most games losing a turn also means losing the game.
I'd love if the game could handle this better, as disconnects have become too frequent for me to continue playing. Rather than tackling hard-to-debug network issues (there is nothing useful in the logs) I think it'd make sense to improve disconnect handling so that it does not automatically mean a game loss. Perhaps keep the chess clock ticking down but don't yield priority when a disconnect is detected.

This still happens - disconnects occur despite a fully functioning internet connection on other sites and services, and there is no notification of the disconnect. If you do not recognize that your client is unresponsive and roping due to connection issues, it is too late to force reboot the client to try to reconnect to the match.
