It is easy if you resign you got surely 0 points.
If you fight and you can make your own five just after your opponent you got 1 point.
And it will influence in the Tournament how you lose your (second games). Some players will lose it with O points , but some other can get 1 point instead zero.
So , if you can win with 3 points as Black and lose with 1 point as White it means that you are better then your opponent.

Ok. So you want to use this point system for use in scoring during tournaments. Not for anything else, correct? That might work. Perhaps a 'Offer 2-point loss' button (like an 'Offer Draw' button in chess) could be added to this site. That would help too.

But don't certain lines tend to lead to wins without the chance of P2 getting his 1 point, while others do not? For example, the wedge often ends 5-4 on pairs (at least when I play ;-) ), while the Boston opening usually does not, so even an expert P2 might not be able to get 1 point depending on which opening his opponent chooses. Is that fair? I'm not sure.
