Chess Code on resigning

I am rather new to the game of chess besides piddling around when I was younger. Ever since I've started playing more in the past week, I've tried playing a lot of games including blitz at the beginning(then read it wasnt the best way to learn so stopped) and have mainly started focusing on daily games. My question is I have one of my earlier games, before I learned about the general strategy of the game, I have losy all but maybe one of my minor pieces while they kept a majority of theirs. Since I see I'm doomed to lose I was wandering the ethics behind resigning? Is it something frowned upon or perceived as just a general victory? Thanks in advance!

You can resign if you believe you have little or no chance but if you have just started you might want to continue to play until you are mated so you can see how advantages are converted. Plus, people make a lot of mistakes.

Like this game:

 

Thank you. I never thought about playing just to see how they will take me! I'll give it my best possible fight to prolong the game and focus on his set up. On same topic tho how is resigning treated in chesss though? Is viewed as ok or disrespectful for not allowing the oponent receive the mate?

99% of Grandmaster games that end decisively are resigned.   You almost never see a mate.

Most non-beginners are perfectly happy with a resignation win.

For the low levels you should probably not resign or only resign if it is something trivial like k + q vs k. At higher levels it can be considered kind of rude not to resign. If I have to continue playing the game up a queen when I have time on the clock I get kind of frustrated. Just feel like my opponent is telling me that he doesn't respect me enough for me to win up a queen. However, at the lower levels you shouldn't trust your opponents to win a game like that because as notmtwain showed they won't always.

Ok thank yall! Im going to play out the games like that so maybe I can learn how to overcome and like notmtwain said learn how to take a mate! Also thanks for answering when and when not to resign, I just didnt know how the community viewed resigning and if I ever make it to upper levels of playing I wanted to know how to conduct myself there as well. Always trying to learn!

This also depends on the speed of the game - in slowplay OTB chess I would think it rude if someone didn't resign when e.g. a rook down for no compensation but in blitz or certainly bullet it is reasonable to insist your opponent mate you.

@piscatorox Ok that is understandable with OTB chess. It was also inline with my thinking with daily chess, but I have been playing them out and kinda making a game out of it by trying to see if I can predict their next move! Thank you for the insight on the ethics of chess!.
