How to properly resign (video)
I agree about the attitude of the player. I couldn't see the tipping of the king clearly, but for tipping part I agree. The topic of resigning has been discussed so many times on www.chess.com that it may have the most posts. As I understand it if you are resigning that is the correct way to do it. Although I doubt that it would change people from nonresigning to resigning, it certainly woud be in the spirit of proper chess to make a change so that when you resign your king is tipped.
