Rude people.

Very early in my chess development I was lucky someone gave me the best response I have ever heard after many years of playing the game.
Someone told me if anyone ever asks you to resign.
Simply say. No, I want to see your winning technique!
End of conversation.


If someone asks you to resign, they're acting like a jerk. At that point you have to ask yourself:
i) Is the community better off with 2 jerks or 1?
ii) Am I better off if I react emotionally and let my feelings get the best of me, or am I better off moving on with my life.
Are you really accomplishing what you want by having this game stuck in your list of games forever, constantly reminding you of this experience? I realize you're trying to not give your opponent what he wants, but who cares what he gets.
yeah it is sometimes a little annoying when someone does not resign in a lost position but no point in writing or being offensive about it. If somone writes you insulting messages just dont play them again. Plenty of other people to play with.
And for not resiging in a lost position end result is the person in the winning position gets to see the winning position day after day and the one on the losing side gets psycologically beaten up. I might even slow down the game for a little mental torture if it is really ridiculous the other person does not resign and just start another game in its place knowing it is already won. Nothing disagrealbe about that but no reason to be a jerk to the other person. If the other wants to play until checkmate then that is fine. Maybe the other person wants to learn basic checkmating patterns Who knows. I am sure your opponent would have never said that to you face to face That is a problem with internet Anomity takes peoples control off of basis courtesy and manners.

Your opponent's resignation is about respect for both you and your position. To think otherwise is a miscalculation.

Yes it,s a game , ::::;;; too much war going on out there: just play the game because you like it;
chess.com you rock, and it,s free for all people

that would require unnecessary travel and would thus increase his carbon footprint.
So some fool decides to leave this little note in my tracked activity. Seems the game we are now playing is going in his favor and since I keep playing, well read below and you can gauge his feelings
...you know, I was looking to see if anyone ever had a lost game,then continue playing as if they had a " Diehard" battery installed in them. If you consider yourself a real chessplayer,then you should resign;I would only continue if I had no theory of the endgame to speculate to no avail!! If you don't know about the endgame then buy some books on them.
