Did you make him play on the pink board? That could explain it. Why not replace the knights with cute my little ponies and the pawns with rainbows Foot in Mouth

I presume it's white to move - no reason to resign, Nathalie.

my position is white..why he was resign without reason..i hate this

Maybe you're just that intimidating...  Wink

The pink chess board probably drove him over the edge!

thats the reason - he would have had to play blindfold..

Could be anything.  Dinner guests may have arrived early.  The police might be calling him out with a megaphone.  He might have promised his wife no more chess on the weekends and had to go when she came home unexpectedly.

There's a big comet coming by in March.  Maybe he got hit by a meteor.

"He might have promised his wife no more chess on the weekends" maybe YES.. maybe NO Tongue Out

Maybe he had typed in 7... Nfd7 as a conditional move and he didn't know how to retract it. Smile

Quoted from verious people in the thread:

"A resign is a win--enjoy it!"

"You should be grateful for those freepoints."

 

"Just look at it as a free point!"

I don't know about you, but I play chess because I actually enjoy the game!

Cause is the right thing to do from another point of view? There is no reason no get upset!! Pick up a new game instead.

Since this isn't about chess openings, but is about chess nonsense, it should be moved to Off Topic.

What I'm guessing is that something happened in his life. Sometimes I have to resign from a game becuase I was just doing it last minute and have to go to a meeting or whatever. Almost anything could have happened to make him resign. I would just not think about it and let it fade in your mind.

U mean loosers? If so I deeply disagree Bob. Pls give specifics. All due respect. Quit and resign sound like the same to me. 

Vease

Only assholes don't resign when they are 2 rooks down (like my very first opponent I played on here). Theres a difference between quitting and recognising the inevitable...

LOL_2013

I fully agree on that Vease. However, chess players are meant to be polited, don´t U agree? so call a member with names sounds like unkind stuff. Move on...There are many teenagers or elderly people around, U Know. Furthermore they will not change. Live with that. They might be just trying your moves to learn something, while U finish them off. Think of yourself as a tutor in these games. What U think of that?

LOL_2013

I have a few words more on the subject. Sarcastic comments might be funny but they DO NOT add the improvement for the weaker players. There are many codes of conduct for chess players. Google them...

Daryl_F

This whole discussion has gone into outer-space.  She wanted you to look at the position at the beginning of the thread, and see if anyone could fathom why THAT opponent resigned THAT game.

DrSpudnik

Well, no one could figure it out, so what's left then but to post silly nonsense and berate the OP?

may be your opponent bored....Smile
