You can't resign "first" or "last". If you resign, you lose the game. What your opponent says makes no sense at all. You did the right thing by ignoring your opponent.
Being asked to resign - yet another question
I have seen other questions about being asked to resign on here, but none that cover this specific topic.
I have a game going on, right now, with a player that is asking me to resign and claiming it will increase my points, because he will resign right after I do....but he insists that I resign first. I'm just ignoring him at this point, but can anyone tell me if there is something I'm missing??
Here's the chat conversation:
OTHER PLAYER: If you resign i will resign
OTHER PLAYER: You will be 959
ME: why do you want to resign?
OTHER PLAYER: if you resign i will i said
OTHER PLAYER: you resign first
OTHER PLAYER: move knight
ME: feel free to offer a draw, if you like
OTHER PLAYER: no i wil lose points you resign for resign
Thanks for any feedback!
Yeah, the "something" you're missing is that you're being trolled.

never resign until you are sure that you are losing. the guy/girl you are playing against is pretty rude to ask you to resign, its your descision to resign or not. and there is no doubble resign, the first player to resign a game loses. you did the right thing to ignore that douche. also chess is not about points, its about getting better and feel good with your play.
Thanks everyone! I figured he was just trying to trick me, but I'm fairly new to chess.com, so I thought I might be missing something.
What a douche, indeed!

No problem!
You did the right thing..if u are a new player only a first resign can do u
some good in points terms..if a regular and established player there won't
be any diff. if u lose the game now or a bit later..my observations..
1.if playing with a player above 2000 resign,if u have lost a piece or 2 pawns.
2.above 1800 also this applies ,in addition your position should be of
disadvantage..
3.below 1500 never resign..he could also blunder..and u might be
able to salvage a draw atleast..
