Some people do this because they do not like the handicap/color automatch assigned them. They might not like the opponent. They may have other reasons for disliking the automatch pairing.EiggHead wrote:I started an automatch game this morning. Before a stone was even played, I get the message that my opponent resigned. And now in my games list I have the game listed as a win +forf.
Does this "game" count for me? It seems odd that I get the credit for a win when no stones were even placed. I seem to recall that a game is not really a game until a handful of stones are played. Or was that IGS?
Can someone elaborate?
Thanks
If the game is ranked, please report this in private to an admin. You may also report it via email admin@gokgs.com . If a player has too many games lost this way, that player's calculated rank can become weaker than the actual ability. This is not fair to that player's opponents. Furthermore, the error in that player's rank can start propagating to other players.
