So, I had a game with an opponent who failed to make his 3rd move due to a time loss. His rating didn't suffer any drop, nor mine any win. This is not by any means a complaint from my part but rather a question out of curiosity: around which move number does chess.com thinks it is proper to adjust rating points in a time lost online game?
Thx a lot in advance
