best win rating did not go up...

A game has to be 4 moves long to for it to be accountable for a change in rating. And here it is 5 moves long so it should've changed.

Your knowledge concerning the minimum number of moves is inaccurate. See previous posts.

it's not it is 4. I remember erik saying that ages ago.

unless it's changed to 5. It always used to be four. But really there shouldn't be a number, just my opinion.

It should've but it didn't change so I don't get it.

Now look what you've done. You confused the OP :(

The OP asked why the best win did not change. You are discussing minimum number of moves for a rating to be affected. If you read post #9 you would have seen this  http://support.chess.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/19/0/the-game-ended-and-my-rating-didnt-change-at-all-why
