Do you lose points when disconnecting?
Sort:
Do you actually lose points when you quit a match by disconnecting? Because I was wondering why people don't simply resign, and then I thought they may not face a rating loss if they disconnect instead. So I tried it once (I simply turned off wifi from my device / closed the app) and my rating stayed the same. I don't want to try it more times, but I believe people should definitely be losing points for doing this. Also, is there a way to report players?

If you disconnect before you make your first move the game doesn't count for rating points. Otherwise a disconnect in the middle of the game is the same as a loss.

Also, I believe that if you disconnect too often before your first move, you start losing points in that situation as well.
Yes, I heard that if you disconnect too often in the beginning (or if you cancel the game too often actually), you won't have that option to cancel a started game anymore.
But the people I was talking about will disconnect in the middle of the game. For example earlier today, I took someone's queen, suddenly he was disconnecting…

Yeah, there's no good reason for the other player to have done that, other than the fact that they were having a tantrum about losing. They'll have lost the rating points either way. As for reporting it, I know there's a way to do it, but I'm not sure how to do it myself. Can anyone else help out?
It would be cool if there was a page where we could enter the usernames of those noobs so that reporting is easier. Chess.com, you hear me?
@kaynight, what do you mean with I did well at my level?
