Don't you hate those players that will just leave their time run up one move before checkmate, when they have no other possibilities? I was wondering why some people do this, do you get less points when you win on time instead of when you win by checkmate?

Also, do you win less points when someone gives up, rather than checkmating them? Because even more people will give up one move before checkmate.

I assume you mean let their time run out.sore losers do this.this is a good sign of their maturity or rather a lack of it.

Exactly, when their time runs out and you "win" on time. Also when they give up.

You get the same amount of rating points no matter how you win.

In a word, no. Rating adjustments have nothing to do with how you win. They are determined by the relative ratings of the two players - in other words, you get more points for winning against higher rated players than you do against lower rated players.

I'm wondering does your rating always increase by at least a little bit no matter who you play?

If this is the case why don't Chess players just keep playing 1000 rated players until they reach 2500. This has to be the easiest way to become a GM.

The amount of points is showed at the start of the game. Thats it, no special deal for special outcome.

1. It would take many, many, many games for a 2450 to go to 2500 by just beating 1500 level players. Too many to count

You are right... if you can't count to 63.
