Win By "Game Abandoned"

Sort:

Hi. Something that's getting on my nerves a bit. Played a few games lately where I was one or two moves away from mating my opponent & suddenly they are having "connection issues".

So, game gets abandoned & I win. Cool! Well.....no. Not really.

In the latest example I was playing a player with a rating of 1172 & I had a rating of 974 (I'm only learning chess). I got +13 for the game abandoned.

My question(s).....would I have got more by winning while mating?

Is this a loophole in this website that could be used by some people not to loose more rating points?

Thanks.

I wasn't too sure if the points were the same for al types of win. Thanks.
