Four move rating unchanged question

Sort:

If I time out after an opponent has made his/her 4th move without my responding (so technically it's only 3 and 1/2 moves) will the rating be unchanged?  I know it changes after 4 move completion.  Just wondering.

Thanks.  I fell victim to a chess troll.  Going to have to play it out.  The kid has 40+ open games, and most games under 5 moves.

3 and 1/2 moves affect ratings.

As Black, why don't you just resign on move 3 before White makes the fourth move so you can go on to a real game?

Done and done dude.  Thanks for the tactic.
