can someone please explain why my opponent resigned.

I was playing this game against someone, when they resigned after my move. I couldn't figure out why, so I put the game in the Stock fish 8 analyzer, but even it said that I didn't  have an immediate win or material atvantage. It said that I would have won on move 76 player perfect moves. Here is the game in my next post.

He resigned on move 25.

maybe he was playing while at work and something came up .

He lost the game already, or maybe he just had to leave? I did that once, I had to leave for a meeting while I was playing a chess game. sad.png

I'm more interested in how Stockfish leads you to a winning position from being down 2 pieces to be honest.

He does have an extra queen, though happy.png

Im sorry, but isn't 2 pieces not enough for a queen??

You won. Maybe the loss of the queen and the knight at the end was the nail so to speak. I only briefly looked at the game , I think you maybe castle,d the wrong side but hey there was a lot of mistakes.

Considering how STUPID he played, pushing pawns without a plan and weakening all his squares, he probably thought he looses the knight or something similar.

Seems the most logical answer

You mean there is not a thread " Excuses to Resign " you can go to for answers?

Oh. I remember that game, I had to go to lunch.

Based on a quick look, you are up the equivalent of two pawns, and it appears that you can quickly capture two more if you are so inclined (a4 & f6). Black may have felt that it was too debilitating to continue, i.e., perhaps he or she just wasn’t having fun and would rather take the loss without a fight than play on. Who knows?
