do you resign if you lost your queen?
Sort:
some players can't control the game if they lost their queen what do you think?
In the middle of the game it depends if he has more pieces than me or controlling the middle it will better to resign.
At the end of the game for sure it will be a resign
At the end of the game for sure it will be a resign
Depends on the position and who I'm playing. If it's a daily game vs a 1900 with no compensation, that game is over. If I get a piece, some pawns and a good position, I'll continue for a bit vs an 1800 or try for a win vs 1700 and lower
I'm playing a guy that's a queen down with little compensation other than the two bishops. He's playing on. Typically I'll have to trade a few more pieces before they'll resign. Two more pieces off the board and I think they'll resign

Like Pawnlings said it depends on the position. If I've lost my queen but still have counter play, I'll of course play on. I've definitely turned games like that into wins and draws before. However if my king is exposed and my pieces uncoordinated, it's over. To many opportunities for my opponent to check and fork. Same goes for two rooks for a queen, gotta be coordinated and the king at least somewhat safe from checks.

Never resign. Play until mate. Your opponent may suffer a stroke, heart attack, fatal arrhythmia, saddle pulmonary embolus, seizure, or aortic dissection and you could win on time. Never resign.
No. I ask for a draw.
I'm really worried by your answers. Chess is a beautiful game and it's important to appreciate it, but some points gained in a lost game won't make you stronger. Continuing to play when it's clearly a lost position -or offering the draw- (what kind of compensation? What control? You can mate in some moves, or you can take back material, or it's lost of course!) is offensive for your opponent, unfair if some people are waiting only for your game and ridicolous for you. Respect is very important, and someone needs to learn it.

Then why have you resigned in your own games?
Unless I can make a quick comeback, ussualy, i resign. Unless there is like 15 seconds and my opponent can mate me in a move or two, in which case I let them have the honour of doing so.

Resigning because you lost your Queen? It depends whether you just flat out hung your queen, in which case you should resign, or if you got something in return for it!
I won't forget a game where I got a Rook, Bishop, and Two Knights for a Queen and 4 Pawns. I eventually won the game!

If I drop the Queen for nothing, almost always resign. But with two pieces, or a Rook & some pawns for it, I'd play on if I have any kind of counterplay. In a worse position, forget it, I'd rather play a new game than prolong a loss hoping for the opponent to blunder.

Losing a large amount of material means you should resign only in longer time controls in chess.

At 1600 in rapid if u blunder ur queen its almost sportsmanship to resign because they will 99.9% of the time convert the position and win so u don t waste their time. But perhaps at lower levels or faster time controls you could pull off a miracle
