If youre not able to win a winning position because you get flagged then you deserved to lose that game and need to work on your time management or play longer time formats and if you end up blundering your lead in a winning position then you deserve to lose or draw that game if you are good at the game you win games you should win

Learn to play from behind, you'll find that a lot more games are winnable when you play towards the end instead of conceding as soon as things don't go your way.
This, one thousand times. Pulling out a W after losing a few power pieces is the best.
I'm talking about FIDE rating not chess.com rating guys. It's a different ball game altogether

He left the thread cause he knows he is a clown and can't argue with logic.

I am a beginner. I declined to resign the other day when I was clearly in a bad position ... likely game over. However I didn't resign because I was interested in seeing how long I could stave off defeat or possibly win. Guess I showed poor manners?? Next time I will resign.

I’m changing my position. Personally, at this point, if they are beat early in the game, they need to resign because they are not yet ready to move on. They will get plenty of practice in the middle and endgames, when they are skilled enough to get there. I applaud coaches who teach resignation.

don't agree. you're playing a low timed game. if they can't win on the board maybe they can win on time. plus you gain experience and knowledge every game and quitting negates that in most cases.

I used to think the same way. Now I know better.
True, Epiloque. I can't argue with that.
