We all have pushed that resign button and you know it. Today you are going to learn about why you should not give up, or resign. ever. I especially encourage 1000 - players to read this, as I have seen that they resign quite often.

Okie dokie, lets dive right into this. So I was playing some blitz with a friend, and i won that game. so he asked if tomorrow we could do a blitz match, including 5|5, 3|2, 3|0, and 1|0. I obviously won, but with lots of effort. see, @Benjibass did't give up after that first game. no. in fact, he won the first two games we played. I had given up after losing so early. but then we played our second game, I lost miserably. After that I decided that I was going to give him a run for his money this time, and not only that, I was gone kick butt, and give any spectators something to watch! here are the games so you can see for yourself.

this next game i resigned in because he had over a minute left and knew this mate very good. but i still regret it.
these were all fun, almost all anyway. obviously not the game where i hung my queen and rook almost back to back. but i learned, that is why you should not resign. you always learn when you slip up, and you can see how that mate you, and learn that too. I hope you learned something as i did from these games, as short as this post was. and with permission from @Benjibass I would like to analyze a few of these games
