Thirded.

 

Also, I recently had some games (both won and lost) where in the win the other player was lost and even said good game before he made his last move to let me checkmate him. Afterwards he said he did not resign because it was a hard fought battle and he wanted to give me the satisfaction of the checkmate. A few games later I was in the same boat on the losing end and I did the same for my opponent. Sometimes I will resign and others I will let them checkmate me for the prize. 

After all, it is just a game.

My advice? Get serious about chess or stop playing competitivly

My advice? Learn what is truly important in life or quit the human race.

Just happened against abah5421 - he disconnected and made me wait 5 minutes after I had a forced mate on the next move. How do I report this?

If you play to the end,  there's always the possibility of a Draw.

I only have one life.  When one chess game ends I can just play another so it's hardly a comparison!  I rarely get excited by playing on in a hopeless position for an extra 5 minutes just in the hope of a draw in some meaningless game!

And it happend again! I like to show a game in with reached a lost position again.

My 30...Re7 was a big blunder. Instead 30...Kg7 was winning.  Resign? Never!

I decide to play Rxe1 and Bxc2 quick because I had 40 minutes and he 9 still enough but ok.

I give him one chance to play  33.Re6  33.Ne6 or 33.Re8+  only one move was winning to other two loses. He chose the wrong one and I won.

Was I lost? Yes.

Did I resign? No.

Did I win. Yes.

 

My advice is never resign in a lost position! Thanks bye!

Frustrating...

hey kid, i don't care if they don't resign .. you are correct that it is frustrating but we cannot do anything. there is no rule that we must resign in a losing position. remember we can also resign in a winning position, because there is no rule that we must not resign in a winning position.

When you're a queen up with 10 seconds left I understand, but when there's like 2 minutes left and you're crushing I just sigh

The real frustrating thing is my opponent resigning.

In fact, most games I won are because my opponent makes it boring by resigning.
