Best Win

    I enjoy the many features chess.com has provided on our profile pages.  One of my favorites is the "Best Win".  I enjoy reviewing the best win game my friends have had and want to share with others mine.  Call it pride or bragging or just excitement.  However there is a small glitch that needs to be remedied:  Time Out wins.

    I am currently about to win a game that was well played against an opponent who is 200+ points higher than me and I am very proud of how I won the game.  In fact it was the Queen sac I learned to look for from the daily puzzles on chess.com.  This will in fact be my best win...but...

    In a previous tournament I was matched against a very high rated opponent who made two moves 1. e4  c6  2. d4  d5  Caro Kann opening....and then...decided not to play and let it time out.  Sadly I received the "win" and it is now my "best win".  Really?  My Best Win?  He is so high rated I may never have a real Best Win against a higher rated opponent to remove this.  Ugh.

    Is there a way for Chess.com to allow us to choose our Best Win?  OR is there a way in the algorithem to require a minimum number of moves to occur for a time out win to qualify as a best win? 

    I know this feature is probably the least of their concerns but in my experience it's the little details that make the larger whole a great success.  Small details like this are what make Chess.com so great.  I've been using Fritz, playchess.com, and chessbase products for years; but it's these social network qualities that make chess.com more fun and enjoyable.
