Resigning When Defeat Is Certain

    If they resign, they either don't want to waste their time, or they have good manners. I don't have good manners.

    Michael-G: I am sorry, but I really cannot provide you that game, I don't even remember the opening. My guess is 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 and God knows what happened then. I will ask Mr. Pekař (the opponent) if he can recall any of the moves, we play together on Sunday (in one team). At the time the game was played I didn't think that I will ever play chess competitively so I didn't have the need to record it. Believe me, if I had it I would be really glad to share it and face all the criticism :D

     

    IoftheHungarianTiger: Thanks for your support and your time. I really don't need to make up such things, I have better things to do. In my very short career I have also anecdote about my second game in that same tournament, but when noone believes me, it is just a waste of words :)

     Don't play the Rnglish Opening.


    Depends on what makes the game fun for you...

    Some of us get extremely upset looking at a (very preventable) dead loss over and over again it reminds us of our stupidity and/or carelessness, and that sort of self-loathing is hardly compensated for by knowing that you will draw 1 out of 100 losses, maybe possibly perhaps probably not by playing on and on and on.

    actually I do try to make a comeback and in many times I have been successful !! the point is if you resign early, you would not learn.... you could even get a stalemate from a piece or position disadvantage

    Michael-G: I didn't have time today to ask Mr. Pekař if he remember that game, because I finished first and he last and we immediately went home after his game, in different cars. In case you were courious, I (still rated 1000) have defeated FIDE 1911 under 40 moves.

    I have to apologise , seems that your story can be true.My tournament experience is 30 years old and one of my close friends and International Master told me that 1900 players are not anymore as they were 30 years ago  so yes these stories are possible.30 years ago it would be a fairy tale to win a 1900 player on your 3rd rated game unless you were  a talent like Carlsen or you were secretly trained with someone like Carlsen in a top secret underground facility in Siberia(perhaps I am the one that sees too many  movies Laughing). 

    Please accept my sincere apology.

    Michael-G: Thank you.

    My elder clubmates also think that ELO is not what it used to be. I also cannot clearly understand how is that even possible that I can defeat these players Laughing Ok, I understand that they can have their bad day, but come on, against totally inexperienced 1000 player? :D wake up guys, or my generation will rock you like a hurricane !!
