i don't now
lose points on time or by resign
Sort:
Resigning, losing on time, checkmate, all the same.
Don't listen to these liars; you lose double points when you're wimpy enough to resign, so YOU NEVER SHOULD RESIGN.
who should i beleive now?

Besides which, after you lose they total up all the stuff you have left and it gets counted against you (like in gin rummy).
if im going to lose,i should prefere stay a little bit more in the game in order to lose more stuff and lose less points?

Read and digest carefully:
All wins count the same.
(It's the only rule that makes sense, otherwise idiots would sit and wait the clock out)

of course my friend
anything else reduces the beauty of the game
i just want to know how many points im going to lose or win each time
statistically more..
and less lucrative...
Think about it... no seriously, engage your brain and actually think about it... imagine you were writing fair rules for all players. Would you encourage players to play in an unsporting manner to save rating points? Of course not! QED.

Yep. You should give away all your pieces, and then sit and wait for the clock to run out. You may even get bonus patience points!
