if he's in the menus, you shouldn't lose points...
Give up is not counted when your opponent :
- paused the game
- in the menus
- swapped to another application
And you probably lost many ELO points because you gave up a normal match (I added a 5% penalty for such case).

yup, you can't give up anymore without ELO penalty now...
I did this coz too many people were giving up. So with the new version, it should be better (in 1 week or a bit more, everybody will have to download the latest version with the new rules)

Because :
1- 1/0 is not significant enough to calculate the ELO points.
2- Give up isn't counted on first couple games, it allows to give up when you see you have ping trouble with your opponent and prefer to not play with him... (or if you joined the wrong game, or mistake like this)

Hello,
your
ELO didn't change, wrong display again, and thanks to let me know, I'll correct it !
(you can go to check ur
ELO after leaving the End of Match screen, in the Network menu... the
ELO shown in the End of Match screen is the
ELO before the match)
EDIT: about the 2/0, u didn't get points probably coz ur
ELO was too high compared to your opponent, so leading 2/0 wasn't enough to earn new points...
You can even lose points when winning a match : for example, if u win 7/6 with a 2500
ELO against a 750
ELO u'd probably lose points, and your opponent will win some points...

What should the procedure be for when I am winning and someone pauses the game for a long time? Before, if i retired, i would lose a lot of points. Now, with the corrections, how should i go about this should this happen?

"Give up is not counted when your opponent :
