Well, That was fun. ...
Do I feel bad winning a 10 minute game on time with
0.6 seconds on my clock?
No.
Should I?
Hell no.
I've lost games with winning positions because I ran out of time. I win games where I'm in a recoverable position because they ran out of time.
I ** tend to ** resign a thoroughly lost position IF the opponent exhibits some sign that they're not going to blunder a back rank mate by not giving their king luft.
But at this <1,000 level of chess we all suck and, as GM Ben Finegold says: You lose 100% of the games you resign. 120% of the games if you're Mike Kummer. Terrible. (1)
Here's a song with a chess board featured. The chess board gets smashed with an axe. A young Peter Dinkelage is, I think, in the video as well.

And, because I'm a giver:
A Better Fripp/Summers Song, No Chess, Hilariously Dated Video
(1) GM Ben Finegold never said that. Very suspicious.
