If bishops and knights played chess with pieces named Fischer and Kasparov, who would be the greatest of all time? Taking into consideration, of course, that there's also Murphy, Stranton, Pillsberry, Alasker, Alkaline, Casablanca, et al.

Not sure if it's winning, but it IS the first "do-i-really-need-to-resign" thread!
EDIT: hey what is this? The topic title is "Do We Really Need To Resign ?", but the url says "do-i-really-need-to-resign" 
After a while the gif stopped...
Resigning is a sign of arrogance. What, you don't feel like I am a worthy opponent to finish a game against? Take it like a man!
By the way, the sky is not blue.

If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch?
I choose this thread to post my opinion on it for the first time:
If the loss it's inevitable and it's far away it might be a sign of respect to resign: like saying "I trust that you can convert this position".
But if I realize that I'm being checkmated in the next few moves, I think it might be respectful to give my opponent the chance to execute the mate. I usually give him the satisfaction, if he deserves it (i.e. it came from outplaying me, not from a my blunder), to play the finishing moves.

It's good that you chose exactly this thread to post your valuable opinion on this important question. Reading it was refreshing like a glas of icy water on a freezing cold day!
Resignation? What is resignation?
Dunno, but pay attention otherwise you might miss it.
For goldendog request.
