What happens to your games when your opponent's account is closed?

I just noticed that one of my opponents has had his account closed.  What happens to your games in this case?  I'm guessing since the game is still active, you get a win due to timeout, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks,

Hmmmmmmm

You win on time and get the rating points if you played long-enough game. It happend to me too once. Big question is why do some accounts get closed?

Have a nice victory-dance;)

Good to know - thanks for the info.

Yes, timeout.

Some get closed by request, I believe. Some others closed due to computer usage maybe??

Computer usage, multiple accounts, rating fixing, request ... those are the first few reasons that pop into my head. 

I wonder if their fraud models account properly for family members playing each other.

Hmm, I think this has been a problem for awhile. It's not just when the opponent has their account closed, it's also when they lose on time for any number of other reasons.

But it's a difficult problem to automate, since some people lose on time in a totally losing position, so maybe you would want those games to count.

I totally understand though - basically as it currently stands, the "best win" is sort of a useless statistic for many people.

I think there's only a multiple account alert when games are being finished quickly, it seems very unlikely that they ban accounts just for having the same IP address and playing each other. If you're going to cheat in that way, you needs LOTS of accounts, as otherwise the ones you beat for rating points get too low themselves, etc.

Too late but for the future you can turn off auto-win on time. You should be able to wait up to two months in non-tournament games to resign. After that you get the win on time.

If you are really adamant about it you can resign tournament games before your opponents' time/vacation runs out.
