Originally posted by @ketchuploverWell no, because anyone who sees the mate coming could just resign and lose fewer points.

Originally posted by @64squaresofpainSo one point for a win, 1/2 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss, 1/4 point for a resign seeing a mate in two? What about mate in three, should it be 3/8 point for that?
Well no, because anyone who sees the mate coming could just resign and lose fewer points.
As woof-woof says: a loss is a loss.
Originally posted by @ketchuploverI agree with the spirit of your post, but not the letter of it. I don't like it when people won't resign in a lost situation either. Look upon it as killing a cockroach, it's ever so much fun if you toy with them before step on them with biker boots. π

Resigners are sissies.
Tough guys don't surrender easy but try to make opponent's life as miserable as possible.

In addition, resigns might be considered as fixing, that is throwing the games.
