They are rightfully scared of the old belgians. Even Julius Cesar knew it. 😉

Well the second game is confusing but the first game is obvious, your opponent went to get a cool drink from the fridge, but he pulled the door so hard his extra large fridge fell on top of him, he was crippled and in agony, but only thinking of you managed to somehow crawl to his pc and resign his game so as not to waste your time as he was obvioulsy going to be in hospital for a long time with no internet access, only then did he telephone an ambulance for himself, if only others were so thoughful here on RHP.

the second game... I think if the game is cancelled before move 3 there are no consequences for the rating. Maybe he saw what happened to his friend (previous explanation) and forfeited the game to drive him to the hospital...

Maybe in the second game your opponent after playing 2. Nf3 realized that he'd moved the wrong pawn and got scared of the opening.

On a serious note: in the first game, perhaps your opponent resigned after Qxd5, thinking he was blundering away a pawn after Qxd Qxd Nxd5, and forgot about Re8!

matbe they pulled up the fen, and saw that instead of a 1200 you were a 1512. some people don't like having there elo's manipulated by a higher rated player, and wouls rather resign and not waste their time.
