What happens to your games when your opponent's account is closed?

    I just noticed that one of my opponents has had his account closed.  What happens to your games in this case?  I'm guessing since the game is still active, you get a win due to timeout, but thought I'd ask.

     

    Thanks,

    You win on time and get the rating points if you played long-enough game. It happend to me too once. Big question is why do some accounts get closed?

    Have a nice victory-dance;)

    Computer usage, multiple accounts, rating fixing, request ... those are the first few reasons that pop into my head.

    Is there any way to get the games not to count?  I won my last two games this way and now my Best Win is against this guy on time.  I really like to other checkmate Best Win I had.

     

    PS: The games were only 5 and 6 moves each.

    I think there's only a multiple account alert when games are being finished quickly, it seems very unlikely that they ban accounts just for having the same IP address and playing each other. If you're going to cheat in that way, you needs LOTS of accounts, as otherwise the ones you beat for rating points get too low themselves, etc.

    Too late but for the future you can turn off auto-win on time. You should be able to wait up to two months in non-tournament games to resign. After that you get the win on time.

    If you are really adamant about it you can resign tournament games before your opponents' time/vacation runs out.
