winning in 3 moves and no rating change

I just won a 3-move game in Live Chess. I feel a wee bit frustrated that my rating didn't change. 

I didn't make my opponent resign or force him to do the moves he did. 

 

 

I don't take the ratings too seriously. But still, if it's a rated game, it would be nice for my rating to go up with a win, even if it is ridiculously short.

i read somewhere that a game have to be more than four moves to count for the rating. if it is like this its a wierd rule if you ask me:) i can understand players starting games by accident and maybe doing a move but playing three moves and then you can just resign? in that case players can choose what opening they want to play against
