Subject: Ratings- munwest taking the cowards way out.

Is it true that if you lose a game by letting the time run out it effects your BKR less than being checkmated? I ask because one of my opponents (munwest) has realised I have got him in such a position that he can't avoid being caught in checkmate next move, so he tells me he's going to let the time run out rather than let me checkmate him. Does this effect my BKR aswell?

Nope. BKR is always calculated with the same formula, regardless on the game ending type.
