Why do so many of the games featured in the "Explore" file have no clear-cut ends?  People resigning THAT early?  Yes, I'm new.

Thanks,

Yes, on Grand Master level it's very normal to resign ''early'', when you're a pawn down it's sometimes a waste of time to play on..

Yes, Grandmasters sometimes see 8+ moves ahead and see that they have lost, so they simply save time and resign right away, unless of course it was a blitz game.
