I'll defer to Frixxz. Even if you feel there's no hope, or even if there truly is no hope, play on so that you can learn how to finish that game.
Where was my mistake?
Sort:
Bc5 and Bb4 is actually correct,even though it doesn't look good.
If you follow the moves,you see that Black got a good opening position.
could have played 6. nc6 instead of 6.bc5. just judging by the database
first, when he checked you with the dark squared bishop, bd2 was a bad move for, your bishop was an excellent bishop, you trapped the light squared bishop, instead of c4 I thought developing the minor pieces and get to safety, If you made the move nc3, it stops the bishop from actually preforming a check, but remember now he has the move bc5 I don't like moving my knights back to the same square so that the oppenents gain a tempo, so I would move my knight to... c1 which ALSO covers the square 'b4', after later or when I devolope at the right time, I bring my knight to a refreshed square.

It's "Chess immediately after exams".
I thought White was already castled.

Hi I tend to think that you had a completely lost game when you resigned, and yet you might have played on because it's one thing to be lost and another for the opponent to prove it.
Depends on your goal. If you are going for rating points, then you can play "hope chess" that your opponent will blunder -- but that does not teach any fundamentals for playing chess.
However, if you are looking to improve your chess, then move onto the next game. Analyze the game to see where you made mistakes and apply those lessons to the next game.
DefenceFox, I was black not white.
I think most players know what I am talking about.
I am talking wasting my time with "hope chess" where I am hoping that he will blunder away his advantage. I'm not learning anything but merely trying to grab rating points.
I was white in this game and didn't really play to my full potential. Credit to Vikram for playing impressively. I do think that the resignation was premature as he could have fought on, but i knew that i had the advantagein the end. I must admit that i heaved a huge sigh of relief after the game.

I thought I had lost but I kept playing...
Condude says to play on until the end until rating 1500; I'd say higher. I'm in a turn-based game now that I thought was lost, but after my opponent made a mistake I think I might win after all (We're both in the 1700's).
Sometimes even in a Q+K vs K endgame, you can pray your opponent will get hasty and stalemate you.
