My opponent timed out....? Question for GMILLER

Post by mateau » Thu Apr 02, 2009 11:41 pm

From GMILLER's FAQ's

"My opponent timed out, why didn't I receive credit for a win?
Due to the number of people who start games, make a few moves, then never come back, games where fewer than 10 moves are made are not rated as wins for the winning player. The player who times out is always scored a loss though."

GMILLER:

Is his opponent scored the win?

If a player times out in some of the match games but continues others then the results of that match are ruined as not all players have the same opportunity to win.

How many people with established ratings drop out of games never to return?
