Re: SE4 Rating System
Last item on the "Rules" page reads:
"(6) If you fail to finish a game for any reason, it will be considered a forfeit/loss unless the victor agrees to the reason for the failure to complete the game."
First, we need to decide if Cybersol's drop should be counted as a forfeit. From what I'm guessing, it is believed that real life caused the drop and not a losing position. The other players being rated in this game should state if they feel the drop should be allowed without it counting as a loss for Cybersol.
That's the first item to be dealt with.
Second, whether to allow Alneyan to count the game as a rated game for himself. My personal feeling is that (after 27 turns) Cybersol played enough of the game that it's a bit difficult to give all the credit of any potential win to Alneyan. Or say that Alneyan deserved the loss if it happened. So, my thought is that the game should continue without Alneyan's position being rated. BUT, I think it's fair to hear some other thoughts on this problem as well.
Sooo...?
