Seeing in advance how many points you gain IF you win ... is that possible?

Is it possible when starting a game (before the game is finished) that you can see in advance how many points you gain IF you win (and points lost when you lose) ?

Now lichess does NOT show it :( ... Why?

cheers.

Just wait until the end of the game

Why do you need to know how many rating points you will gain for the win? That would take away the purpose of rated games.Simply win your game and you will find out.

This is a chess.com thing that promotes exploitation and purposeful farming. I doubt it will be implemented here.

Can you imagine all the aborted games that would happen? Sounds like a dreadful idea.

"is that possible?"

Given enough time and effort, many things are possible. Anyone could write a userscript to do this somehow with http://lichess.org/api

"Now lichess does NOT show it :( ... Why?"

Because this likely will lead to more players aborting games.

sensitive snowflakes everywhere

Here ya go :-)
