A question.
I am currently involved in a game with e01osama, who (apparently) is a recognized cheater since his rating just dropped from the 1400-level to exactly 500.
http://www.redhotpawn.com/core/playchess.php?gameid=412188
The problem is that, although I'm winning the game, I no longer want to finish it, since my rating will unnecessarily plummet.
Is there a system in place so that the game can simply be cancelled, and thus not affect my rating at all? Or do I just have to bite the bullet?
Thanks for any assistance.

the most you can drop is 32 points - it doesnt hurt that much, less than an injection or a filling.
and now my rating will, hopefully, joyfully climb back to where it should be.
(or did it just drop to where it should be?!)

Until you complete 20 games, you will have a provisional rating. This rating is calculated as the average of all the games you have played. Each game is scored as being your opponent's rating (for a draw), your opponent's rating plus 400 (for a win), or your opponent's rating minus 400 (for a loss). If your opponent is also on a provisional rating, then the 400s above become 200s. If your opponent has played fewer than five games then their rating is treated as 1200 when calculating your rating.
So if your opponent suddenly goes down to 500, then if you win, that would lower your average due to the '900' score in there.
Lordivan, since you no longer have a 'p' rating, you will see a very small (possibly zero) boost to your rating if you win, lose up to 16 points if you draw or up to 32 points if you lose.
Since you only completed your 20th game a week or so ago, you may not have noticed that the 'normal' rating system has kicked in.
Now you've got a regular rating, why not invest in a nice star against your name?😀
