Do YOU know when to resign?
Sort:
I only like resigning when I am in an end game, and my opponant is going to ineviditably promote a pawn. Otherwise I like to finish out all my games. Obviously their are some extreme exceptions, but this is the main time that I like to resign.

The main situation for which I resign is when I lose both my rooks and my queen. Because they're the pieces I rely on most.
My opponent today found out that one should never resign. After all, you always have some winning chance.
4 years old huh? I knew these threads had a long history (even before the internet right) but I've never seen such a dinosaur in person
If they just stickied this, bishop vs knight, greatest player ever, and common courtesy in chess, we'd hardly ever seen a new topic huh.
I still like my answer though. I resign when:
1. I believe my position is lost,
2. I believe my opponent knows my position is lost and
3. I believe my opponent is able enough to win without difficulty.
