Number of moves affect the ratng result?

If I am playing a stronger player(+600 points).do the number of moves I make in a loss affect my new rating?(i.e. do I lose fewer points being defeated in 60 moves as opposed to being beaten in 10 moves)?

Hmm no, I don't think so. (not the same in case of a win indeed)

I am referring to a LOSS to a superior player ranked 600+ points ahead of me.

If it has no effect, then the quality of play by the loser is unimportant. Scholar Mate=120 moves. Is that right?

Yes, I understood about the 600+ points. Yes as well to the last question even if I'm not sure what you mean by "Scholar Mate=120 moves".

The answer to your first question is no.
