+0 ELO for winning on time against closed accounts? (Daily)
Sort:
That's it. It has nothing to do with the closed account, the number of moves isn't high enough.

If under 4 moves, Rating is not affected. Is it under 4 moves ?
Oh yes thanks that answers my question.

So recently I played a game against somebody who got banned for abuse. This was their first daily game and their rating was 1200 while mine was 1205. Eventually, his account got banned and I won on time. To my surprise, I did not get any ELO points whatsoever. I do not feel it is appropriate to give the link to the game as it would reveal the user's username, but if any moderator asks me I can give them the link to the game. Anyways, there might be a reason for this, but I don't find it very fair the way I see it.
Games of less than 4 moves are not rated on timeouts.
You have to play at least five moves to score ...

Bad luck ...
I once won in a thematic, that started after move 5, in 9 moves ... Even then: No points .... (no bug, no mistake, the five-moves-to-score applies to moves made, not pre-defined moves in a thematic ...)
Had my opponent not given up after move 9, and let me mate him, I would have received the points ...
