They abort because they want to get a certain color and after a certain number of abortions you can't abort any longer. (So I guess they resign trying to get a certain color then)
Dont worry about your rating, it will stay where it should be.
Resignations after 0 moves, they're not really wins. You agree?
Sort:
Ratings are a way of playing people that will challenge you. If you hypothetically had a number of people resign and your rating quickly jumped up. It would soon settle down to your natural ability as you would tend to lose to the stronger players. So-in short- don't worry about it.
I don't care. OTB they would be wins, that's for sure.

OTB, no one would resign after 0 moves. You'd get too much grieve from your opponent.
True, but when playing online you have to choose to play a game. It is wrong IMO to not play just because your black or don't like the opponents rating.
Hiya. I've encountered quite alot of opponents that resign before any moves have been played. I find this frustrating, if their games history show that they reularly do this.
Although, you get free points from the game which raises your rating, i don't count that as a win. The reason is that I havent played any moves and there is no knowing what the resullt would have been.
Do you agree?
