If someone sits down at an OTB tournament game and resigns on the first move, does that count for ratings? If so, why aren't they doing that here. Four moves can be 12 days @ 3 per move. Isn't my time worth something?
its so people dont create other users and just play themselves and resign to get their ratings up , sure they could do that but it takes longer this way and wastes their time . (but thats just a guess)
how many moves have to be played before your rating is affected when the opposition resignes/runs out of time ?
