    As a courtesy to the loser of the game, the way I play the loser goes first in the new game. If the loser makes the last move to close out the game, they start the new game and make the first move. Is it legit for them to delete a game and start another if they don't like their draw? I would never do that.

      @sandy-gifford You sound like someone we would like to face in a fair game. The person that dumps the game scores a loss, don't they? They are lowering their win/loss score, as it should be.

      @annyoakly I think the situation folks have in mind is a game where one player is so disgusted that they dump the game before it starts... if they do it before anybody makes a move, no one gets a loss.

        @annyoakly Thank you! They are playing that way to avoid another loss. It was my sister lol We quit playing and she is the only one I played because I knew she agreed not to use word generators. I like a fair game with no cheats.

          Unfortunately this does not happen!

          You may be interested to read a recent discussion about this in a thread in 'Feature Requests', entitled 'Rate deduction'.

              @annyoakly if you delete the game before the opponent moves, it does not affect scoring. Same way if I start a game with you and you never move it automatically drops off and doesn't change either of our scores.

                      @pangloss I just deleted a game before either of us played. My score dropped.

                      Don't understand why some games your only choice is DELETE and other games the choice is RESIGN.

                        @lolamoth Deleting is one thing - shouldn't change your score and as far as I can tell, it's only available before a player plays (or before the second move). After that, one can only resign, which does affect rating.
                        Also, I seem to recall that the rating change isn't instantaneous. So perhaps that could explain why there was a change?
