Abandon a game should be allowed and give 100% of elo variation to the winners

Hello,
I'm new to this site, which I find great.
I have played Abalone.
When a higher ranked player abandoned against me because I was going to beat him, I was thankful for him to save our time.
When I saw that I got only 1% of the elo variation because according to the platform, only 1% of the game had occurred, and he lost some karma points, I found this strange and disappointing. I don't blame him for quitting the game: it was an easy win for me. I would expect him to keep all his karma, and myself to get 100% of the elo variation.
I guess this wish applies to some games only, not to the games when the invested time and finishing the game are more important than winning/losing.
So, maybe, this feature could be different from one game to another? And for Abalone, it should definitely work differently than right now.
What do you think?
Thank you
