Ikr!!

bruh people say "never resign" for a reason. If you're under 800 then even if you're down a queen you shud keep playing cuz there's always the chance that your opponent will blunder back. Even Levy made a video about it. But if you're like 2300 and you're down a queen then you can resign cuz your opponent will most likely convert the material into a win

Absolutely true !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The annoying thing about players (by which I mean me) playing on after losing a queen is that they don't always lose. I am only referring to quick chess.

in rapid it is more likely to be a draw than win (Stalemate)

When you lose the queen you usually lose the game unless you're rated below 400

lol ikr!

Elroch

"Usually" - a word meaning "more than 50% of the time".

It is surely true that players below 400 also usually lose when they lose their queen.

#1:

They ask for a draw because: They are very desperate.

-

They resign because: Generally, people resign to save time.

There is always the chance that 1 will come back from a lost position.
But the chance (the higher the rating of the players, the lower) is very low.

Better to admit defeat, and go solve puzzles, take a walk, or analyze the game.

Sure, sometimes people resign games that they would have won if they hadn't, but competition is not about winning "Some" games, it is about winning the most games possible.

Resigning and doing puzzles, analyzing the game, or any other good chess training will make sure you lose less games than never resigning will.

And some people resign because they consider it to be "Good sportsmanship".

Unless your some super GM and have a rook+rook for the queen and a blazing attack on the kingside or something like that.

trolling and then checkmating my opponent is much more fun then just going straight for a checkmate grin.png
