I think it is fun. Some of my fondest games are where I blunder early and come back and win. The pressure is off and I can try to keep the game complicated and spot a tactic and/or make it easier for my opponent to blunder. .
It is almost certainly easier to play a queen down at the beginner level because your opponent is far more likely to allow you to equalize.
Most chess software allows the user to specifically practice endings. You can probably do that on here.
Something like Chessmaster 10th edition can be bought for as cheap as a few pounds/dollars, and has some specific endgame drills to practice.
I get that alot but it doesn't bother me much because I find it quite funny that they are usually people who bring their queen out early.
If your opponent is rated less than 1200 then yes there is a chance to recover from blunders if they do not play carefully.
Wow I thought it was the opposite. Most newbies I've played don't know when to resign...

My club has lots of newbies and I accept a challenge from anyone.
You can play on versus the computer after they resign. Just set the difficulty appropriately.
Also you can give material back by doing exchanges that favour them so they have more reason to continue. You can give enough material so you still have an advantage but not as large as +9.
Be thankful you aren't playing AI like you do half the time on this garbage site
There are very good reasons a new player should resign after losing a queen. Many players do not know the reasons.
That is why even some coaches tell you to never resign. Those coaches are wrong.
A student will progress quicker if he learns when to resign.

He/she should have thrown in a queen check. If you block with either bishop or knight out of habit, the "trapped" knight gets traded and black is fine.

Also slamming the knight into f2 getting a pawn and forcing the king to move is probably enough compensation to make the game not totally hopeless at the beginner level and maybe into the intermediate levels depending on time control.
Ultimately if a beginner resigns a lost game they can start playing the next game more quickly and hopefully get more useful practice.
If you are looking for an opponent to practice against who will never resign you should consider using the many bots available on chess.com
Consider the feelings of the player on the other side of the board, they are here to have fun and maybe learn, at the beginner level it's even harder than usual to defend a position a queen down because you don't have the tactical vision to find tricks and patience to play solidly. I think everyone can agree that it's no fun at any level to try and hold a game an entire queen down.
