Looking at that sentence I am reminded of Michelangelo staring at a block of stone, trying to imagine the figure within, then chipping away until that figure is released.

Or something.... Smile

I don't mean to be rude, but are you really an American? If so can you write things coherent enough for foreners like me to read please?

Looking at that sentence I am reminded of Michelangelo wondering if he should work with vigilante Casey Jones.

I'm an American, and I don't understand it, so don't think it's because English isn't your native tongue.

Isn't your native tongue American?  Unpatriotic!

Kent is in England, not the U.S. And you know how they butcher the English language over there.

I believe he's either saying that people should not resign, or possibly not get discouraged and quit chess altogether, because losing is a part of the game:

"Those who quit should not.  Losing is a part of the game."

The English wasn't all that simple -- I'm still not clear:  Quit a single game, or quit playing the game altogether?

Quitting in the middle of the game.....like when they lose their queen.

LOL I think people were getting confused (including me) because the first sentence is so poorly constructed. However, the second sentence is perfect, "Losing is part of the game" (sans the capitalization and punctuation). Knobb what were you smoking at the time?

I forget who, Lasker or Kasparov/Karpov, said that you have to lose 1000 games in order to become a good player. My coach told me this one. I think it's true. It takes a lot of effort to lose 1000 games if you're playing seriously. Even for a really bad player, this would probably take at least 2000 games to accomplish.

Yes, this is what I feared -- a resignation thread so poorly formulated that I wasn't even 100% it was actually a resignation thread.  I was ready to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm afraid I'm going to have to call it:

Worst. Resignation. Thread. Ever.

I'm beginning to wonder if the OP's handle wasn't also a spelling mistake. Perhaps Noob .... or something.
