Interesting question - I'm not sure white could resign in that position ... it could be a draw by not enough material for black, but I'm not sure about white losing.
Can't White just play f7#?

Yes - but the question was : could white resign and lose the game if he/she wanted to?

Saw a guy resign in a won position once, only 2400 but it was still painful to see. He thought he was lost but missed a winning combination.

I've confirmed it - chess.com does not apply the insufficient material rule if you press the resign button:
?hard question .is it..........

Why on earth would material on the board have any effect on the option to resign?
Such an option would be equivalent to throwing the game, so I was wondering if it would be forced into a drawn result instead.
yes
Thank you for the information
Nothing wrong about resigning in a situation where even draw is impossible. Not against rules. No reason to do it either but it is the right of a player. I would be insulted to see such resignation against myself even in a bullet game.
Thanks!You Rock!!!!
NEXT..........LOL
Can GM Resign if they only have 2 pawns and 1 king?
