Does your club get points in vote chess if the other team times out, or is it only when you checkmate or they resign?

Already answered: "Yes if both teams have moved at least once, else its considered abandoned and no points " by @Gollum_Reborn.

Timing out is considered as a loss in VCs as well.

Depends what you mean by "points." There is no rating points to win or lose like in an individual rated game. There is no "team rating" if that makes sense.

However, if by "points" you mean their team record of wins, losses, draws etc. then the result is recorded regardless of how one side losses the game (time, resignation, checkmate etc.).

By points I mean the points that are in the vote chess leader board and under vote chess "Total Points":

And I have already said twice, the question has been answered, thanks.

p.s. I see "points" in vote chess you were probably referring to. Those "points" are only for games which were not abandoned and this is a different type of "points."

Move four as in white moves twice and black moves twice or white moves 4 times and black moves 4 times?

Different type of points? If you are saying that the points listed under "Total points" and Vote Chess leaderboard are different, you are incorrect, they are the same.

Yes 4 "moves" means each side. One player "moving" but not the other is called a "ply" so 1. e4 e5 is made up of one move, but two plies. It takes 4 moves (or 8 plies) I believe for the game to "begin" and not be considered abandoned.

I know they are the same. I was referring to those points and personal rating points. Those are different (as are profile "points" which indicate activity via posts too etc.).

The "Total Points" and the "Vote Chess Leaderboard Points" are the same, yes.

Ik how moves work, but @John_Warren might not know, so that's why I was clearing it up.

Idk how you even got to activity points, I am talking about VC, and VC points, so why are you getting so confused on which points lol.

I believe it's 6 moves for Vote Chess
