Through the Years: Long Correspondence

Ok, I apparently have no idea how the tournament point system works but what I’m saying is that it should not be marked as “win” in the table because that contradicts the classification of the game as “annulled”.

I think it’s still a win and shouldn’t be marked as “annulled”. It should be “win, unranked”.

I guess this is somewhat philosophical but I disagree. “win, unranked” states that the game was won under the setting “unranked” but that is not the case, since this was a ranked game. So that would mean that the server would have to change the setting of the game after the game already started on its own accord. That seems problematic to me.

I think the current implementation makes sense and they should just rename the status on the tournament page.

Indeed, I think it should be marked “win, deranked” in that it used to be ranked but now is not.

Maybe “win, unrated” might be better though? A win that doesn’t affect the ratings.

Win by Timeout is the correct result, and the tournament reflects that. Looking at the tournament to solve the problem of annulling games won by Timeout is looking in the wrong place

I am also fully supportive of you continuing to use the same template in the name of consistency, even if in three to five years from now there might be some perceived redundancy (again). lol

Thanks a lot. That’s pretty clear for me now. But honestly, I did not see the time pass. That’s what you call aging … right? Anyway, always happy to feed the semantic debate.

Also all players have at least one completed game.

How many of the “completed games” were “completed” by timeout, how many by a resignation (before 60 or 90 moves were made), and how many of the completed games were completed by counting the score (after both players passed)?

Thanks for that explanation. Two of my opponents in this tournament (2nd round) timed out; one after we made two moves each, the other had a few more moves. :-/

These numbers are in my post from 20 days ago.
Look at the charts. That was the situation at that moment.
