Just don’t play
then how can you establish yourself as a coward?
You can, (Not possible in OTB but can be in online chess ) challenge some player for a game, when they come to live chess for your challenge....abort the game and don’t play...
excellent. honestly hadn't thought of that.
Regarding the fifth point, I live under the assumption that refraining from resigning in "hopeless" positions is actually the cowardly thing to do.
no that is where they accuse you of having no respect for your opponent who failed to convert the win
