Never ever play a non-resigner twice. Once is enough to put up with such insulting players

I agree, beginners should not resign, they should ask their opponents for permission first.

If a beginner resigns once they are materially down how can they learn about end games. I am always happy to play on.

Your daily rating is 1500, which means you're probably no more than 1200 elo OTB, if you were to get an OTB rating.

Why am I not surprised that the first daily game on your most recent list that you lost, I see you resigned in a completely winning position?

I've seen beginners resign down two pieces, but never up two.

I thought this was just a side effect of those 500 mg Pomposidrazole pills but it all made sense after the game LOL.

never resigners only learn how to annoy opponents, and nothing about endgames when continuing in a dire losing or lost position

^What about learning how to convert a winning position?

The first step is to not resign.

@ Boystan We will have to agree to disagree. Maybe our tolerance levels differ or our chess experiences.
