Remis?

Avatar of ElKapello

Hello,

 

I played a Game against "Bingabel"  today and should have won by time (+25xec). The game was rated Remis, because of to less material?

Three or four days ago, I played against a player with only 5 ELO points more. He won and got 9 points?!

Is the new chess system in Beta-Mode?

Your help is much appreciated.

You can't win a game on time if you don't have mating material on the board. Since your opponent ran out of time and you only had a king, the best you could ever hope for is a draw so that is all you could get.

 

It is called Draw by Insufficient Material. Read the last paragraph of the following.

As to rating changes, it depends on the ratings of the players, how stable those ratings are (the Rating Deviation or RD) and the outcome of the game.

The game was drawn by stalemate. Look up what stalemate is in chess.
