POINTS SYSTEM

Hi can anyone tell me how it works when i resign a game sometimes i have lost 60 points then other times i have only lost 11 or 4 points and sometimes even fewer.thankyou

It depends on your opponents rating: against lower rated opponents you lose many points, strong opponents not many.

Here is the exact link to how they work on this site - enjoy http://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-ratings---how-they-work

It depends on the rating of your opponent. You lose more points if you resign against lower rated opponents than if you resign against higher rated opponents.

Hi thanks for all your replies i will now take more care in my games and will not resign so easily thanks again!

When offered a draw how do you accept

I think you agree with the offer, and press your draw button.

Thanks for that
