This thread reminds me of the thread about being forced to resign... anyway, it's an interesting thought. However, in Live Chess, if you/your opponent times out, you get a notification saying that they "...may be violating our Fair Play Policy," blah blah blah.
Could chess.com encourage resignation from lost games?

I would love a discount on something that is already free, lol.
Lol

The formula is adjusted fee = |normal fee paid - discount|

So you are saying that chess.com would pay free members to resign?
This also reminds me of a post I just commented on lol ... my thoughts are you have the same amount of time howe he/she uses it is up to you/them... even if the game is lost... don't like to wait just play shorter games.

No, vertical bars are the 'absolute value' symbol.
Do the math
adj. fee = |0 - discount|
therefore adjusted fee = the absolute value (e.g. always positive number) of -discount, which means the discount is the *fee* not a refund.

No, the absolute value symbol || means that free players would have to pay :-)
I thought you meant the determinant of the fee matrix, or maybe the Jacobian.
It might bring about premature resignations from some people who simply want the discount.

What if chess.com offered a discount to players whosd chess activity indicated they tend to resign immediately (presumably after reaching an untenable position), rather than run away on the clock or abandon games?
I wonder if that would encourage people to not waste other player's time so much.
Perhaps it should offer discounts to folks who don't start ridiculous threads.

Nice to be in a position not to find myself in need of a discount ;-)
I personally think its like a normal game you can resign in a tournament so you can resign in these games depends on the person
Just think how much money you could be saving though!

A French revolution Jacobian, or just that principal diagonal guy?
Ask the OP, he'll swallow anything, apparently.
Must be what's giving him trouble at the other end.
The @ReflectiveMist has started 10 threads today.
Better let go of your tool, or you'll go blind.
