Is there a specific time? Without any move? How it's working?

I go 1 g4 and my prep is revealed.  Black doesn't move and gets out of playng free.  Its pure bs.  Hundreds of points.

But what about points? Sometimes I lose game and lose points
and sometimes I just leave?

If your abort rate is too high, you lose the ability to do it and have to play or resign, so can lose rating in that case.

Can I check abort rate, or it's a secret?

Chess.com is awful. I couldnt abandon and it took me points when I did not even move and misclicked starting the game. On the other hand every 4th or 5th game there are cheaters and chess.com does not do anything on that matter.

If you abort too often, as a percentage of recently completed games, you lose the ability to do it

Totally unbiased here, but I think Chess.com is pretty awesome and we do work hard at with the cheaters. I would recommend taking your time before you make your moves. Abandoning the games is not really fair to your opponents. - C4F
