Is there somewhere i can see how this is determined? Dont get me wrong i know where i stand and that im an average player but........recently i won a game against valirin(sp) im 910 he's like 1600. I received 8 pts. I just claimed a timeout against OPT maybe. Im 927 he was 1099. I received 25 pts. Where is the corralation? Just trying to understand.

Hi Masteryeo,

The points are calculated using the same formula that FIDE (international chess federating) uses. If you like I can post the formula here?

Looks like there's a penalty for timing out

There is no penalty for timing out...

Sorry that seems unfair! If anyone is losing then simply time out. No big deal!

Lose on time should consider as a game loss.

Sorry, maybe I expressed myself incorrectly... timing out is just a normal loss... there is no additional penalty on a timeout...
