Pajeszattila, your last 960 games were unrated (you can check under details). So no stats are affected.

What Baseballfan was saying that if you win a game that your opponent resigned, timed out, or just fool's mated himself in under 4 moves, then you will not gain any ratings points, but your opponent will still lose points for resigning or timing out of a game if even just 1 move was made.

I'm not sure if they will award you points if you win a tournament game under 4 moves, but you will certainly lose points in both tournament and non-tournament settings if at least 1 move was made. And you get no points if you win a non-tournament game that is less than 4 moves :)

I was white. He resigned and it didn't count.

I believe 5 moves are required to be made before it is counted towards a rating change...


In this case it's not really good, though, White already has an advantage. So, If I blunder on move 3 I can just let the clock run out?

Or refuse to move if my opponent plays 1 d4, because I only like to play against e4?

I don't get it. I moved 4 times against someone and he quit and it didn't count. So I tried the same trick. I moved 2 times against someone and quit and it cost me elo. Chess.com is just extremely poorly designed. They don't know what theyre doing lichess is better

Daily games have to be 4 moves by both sides to be rated, unless it's a tournament game.

Live games that start as rated are rated.
