antonista in the Queena Gambit series Beth was a beginner and was told by her tutor to resign immediately when she lost her queen with almost no compensation.  Beth did not understand but the tutor was correct. 

Not resigning would have wasted the time of her tutor and worse than that would have taught Beth  to be satisfied with a very lower class of play. 

I agree, and that's why I said what I said. When you're playing a more advanced player, like Beth playing the janitor, who won't likely blunder the next few moves, then there is no point in continuing and you resign. basically, if you have blundered the queen then there is enough instruction in that game alone that you don't need to keep going to get more learning out of it. better to just start a new game.

Is this forum about chess  or about a tv show?

After all of the “Resign” threads, I am more convinced than ever that no new Chess student should ever resign, until they can clearly articulate why the resignation is a sound decision.

Lol, it is a movie.

I made a home movie where a person never resigned and came back to win every game.

 

Obviously if you do not resign, you will win every game.

 

Anyone interested in discussing any other show from net flix in a chrss forum?

I wonder what Shaibel thought about Frank Marshall.  A big part of his legacy was playing a little too creatively and then somehow saving lost games.

@Nilslngemar Recently caught up on Santa Clarita Diet and enjoyed every minute of it!

Santa Clarita, wasn't that the city in Lost Boys?

I think so, it's a real city near LA though.  Its worth a watch if you haven't seen it.  Drew Barrymore turns into a zombie and tries to balance that with family life/ her realty job.  They managed to make scenes both funny and stressful at the same time. 

NilsIngemar

I can't see how that can be better than Lost Boys..

It is because she lost her queen for a bishop and a knight.

Teaching a young player the principles of sportsmanship, is at least as important as learning the moves.

I would say teaching resourcefulness and perseverance is far more important.    In many games more could be learned through defending than giving up, and in many cases games can be drawn/won due to defensive skill.  If the best in the world make mistakes (like in game 6 of the last championship where Fabi missed a forced win),  your opponent isn't going to play a perfect game either. 

I would also say that there is nothing disrespectful about not handing your opponent a win.  Many pros are known for there fighting spirit in speculative positions.  One of my all time favs, Frank Marshall, is even known for his swindles.

True, but in the tv series I think Beth hung her queen without compensation.

"Fighting spirit" is all fine and good, but banging your head against a brink wall is just painful.
