In chess, giving up is losing. I do this all the time. This is a habit that you (and I, too) should get rid of. Sometimes it's completely hopeless, you're down no pieces on your side, a queen and 2 rooks on your opponent's, and you have 10 sec's left. You should resign then... but most of the time, that doesn't happen. When you're playing, concentrate and look on the bright side. look for opportunities to turn the battle around. Sometimes your opponent blunders or makes a mistake. Never Give Up. A thing i always remember is, 

"There is always hope. Look for opportunities. When you see one, take it. There is always hope to play on and for. You never know what kind of blunders/mistakes your opponent is capable of. wink.png "

If you want some examples, i think these two of my games are strong examples:

https://www.chess.com/live/game/3805503389  - in this game, it's amazing how easily your opponents can blunder. though it may not happen to all of your games, especially at higher levels, it still shows that there's always the fact that your opponent CAN and is CAPABLE of blundering.

https://www.chess.com/live/game/3767199716 - in this game, take a look at my opponent's move # 26 Re1. What a mistake! they could have won... there, from my mistake i was like "noooooo what have i done!!!!! no!!". but there was hope wink.png ! see, you never know if your opponent will make the mistake that brings the game back to you!

***these were just examples... if you (my opponent in these games) have an issue with me posting this, please PM (privately message) me and i will fix/delete this post in your favor.
