Didn't get my rating points

I played a guy last night and took his queen on my 3rd move(he had made 2 moves) and he resigned but I didn't get any points.  I assume it was too short a game?  Dammit I need those points.  Thanks.

Doesn't matter where it was played -- I think that the game was too short.

That said, I think that a material advantage of three or more points (to the detriment of the resigner of course) or a game that ends in checkmate (fools mate in all likelyhood) should count even if it is under the minimum move threshold to be rated.

I wonder what the name of that opening is: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Qh4! 3.Nxh4. The Reversed Patzer? Foot in mouth
