Game aborted, no points??

Hi, I've just played a game which was aborted after 9 moves. I won and got no points. The opponent played queens wayward attack(do people still do that? ;o))

He kept offering a draw. I'd just taken his b2 pawn and about to take his rook. 

No points and the game doesn't show on Home Screen. What's that all about?

Thanks

If you mean League Trophies, you do not get any trohpies for winning games less than 10 moves long. For a full list of what is required to earn trophies, read this: https://support.chess.com/article/3176-i-just-won-a-game-why-didnt-i-get-any-league-trophies

I don't mean trophies, no.

If the game was aborted, it wouldn't be listed in your archive and you wouldn't have received any points for it. There were some server issues earlier today and likely is related to what you saw.

Wait Martin but it seems the game I played today isn’t listed… oh right aborted games won’t be listed… Sadly, I wanted to analyze the game… it was I think 50 moves

Aborted games stay on the page until you refresh or leave. In cases like that, you would need to copy the PGN and analyze separately. I have a Library Collection with my aborted games that I started recently for that purpose (mainly for Arena games).

As I understand it, the game is aborted by the server. In hundreds of 30 minute games on Lichess, Ive never had a game abort. It comes up on the screen that it is reconnecting and play continues. Weird ;o)

Players can't but there can be server issues that result in aborts
