@Jenium, no I want to see if I can actually convert a lead from such an early position.
Then complete the game against the computer.
Anyone else feel cheated by those who are quick to resign?

@ThrillerFan there is so much counter play remaining that it's impossible to consider that game lost.
the problem with stonewall formations is that black doesn't have any real counterplay... I always get depressed whenever people play the stonewall.

If it's a Blitz or a Bullet game, sure one can continue and hope for time trouble to help the desperate situation. Otherwise, it's only common sense not to waste time and energy on a lost cause and move on to next game (and that makes even more sense in an arena tournament).
@snudoo it leads to very closed but since most play e4 I feel I have an advantage with game tactics.

the best thing about otb chess is that you can handcuff your opponent to the table and tickle them with a feather if they try to resign.
@snudoo it was in response to your comment about playing stonewall.
Listen. His/her question makes some sense, so stop saying he/she's complaining. Some people play chess to have fun, and resigning after 10 moves earns you nothing. You have a point.

oh yeah. I play the Colle-Zukertort sometimes and get into stonewall positions after Ne5 f4. I don't play the normal stonewall, though, since imo it's fairly easy to trade off the d3 bishop then play f6-e5.
@snudoo I used to accept the bishop trade, now I protect the bishop and I have much more success.
Why
Same with Dutch and the black bishop.

what do you mean, "protect the bishop"? isn't it already protected, or do you mean you play Qe2 after Ba6?
gg.
