Absurd resignations
Sort:
I agree! If it was a random player you were against, he might have had to go suddenly, perhaps had to do some work! I often do “premature resignations” myself. Don’t ask me why 😂

but, a 1500?
oh he saw bishop f4 then bishop takes f4 and then he saw rh2# without realizing that he could just take the knight
yeah sometimes I have to resign games when I am in the middle of school and then the bell rings.
Black looks to have a won game. Would a 1555 see it? Possibly.

I resigned some of my games if I'm about to do something like cooking or if someone calling my phone. Some of those games are I'm winning. I dont mind score drop, cuz chess rating 600-700 is where I'm comfortable playing: 50.50 win chance.
White only has Kh1, so white plays Kh1. ... Nh2 and the rook has to move, let's say to c1. So then ... Ng4. White's bishop has to move so the only move is Bf4. Black plays ... Nxf2+. White has to move the king. If Kg1 then black has Nd3, forking the R and the B and picking up at least another pawn. And all that's without black moving his rook. With the rook, there may well be further threats.
No I'm wrong. Using the analysis tool I can see it's drawn. Beg pardon.

Oh, sorry, I couldn't read the invisible ink.
I'm underrated, I just need o follow a strict timetable of playing 4 games each after a break of 30 mins. If I do that, I can get to 1800 quickly... Or else I can't concentrate, I play with intensity , and I'm exhausted after each game...
sounds like my friend except for the fact that he blunders 3 times on average each game
Don’t resign. Just as a general rule. However, if you are very highly rated than resigning a losing position is fine as a high rated player is unlikely to force a stalemate. As for low rated players, DO NOT RESIGN. Even if you’re at deaths door a stalemate is a real possibility. Besides you don’t learn a damn thing from resigning. If you are losing KEEP PLAYING. It’s a great opportunity to learn defensive tactics.

Why do some people resign when there's no loss? for example the one I played today:
