Aren't you also complaining that the game didn't turn out how you like?

Play some stronger opponents, you'll be less likely to get their queen and you'll get a longer game.

Losing a queen means a loss of 9 points,worst than losing two rooks.Any sensible player will consider a resign unless there is an exquisite checkmate chance position within say 4 to 5 moves.But some players continue the game and may even capture back your queen and win the game. Its the mental grit of the player and the position that determines a resignation or continuation.Can't blame anyone.

But you wouldn't mind if they quit after you lose YOUR queen, would you?

for me it's just a game, and as i am I don't mind if i win or lose the important is to learn the game and improve my skills.

I'm pretty sure those whose queens you took hate you back. It's not nice to take what is not yours.

Are you saying you don't already know how to win after becoming a queen up?

Yes, there is system in place to identify those people who usually quit after losing a queen. It's called the rating system. People are awarded (or deducted) points based on how well they play the game of chess over a number of games. The higher the rating, the less likely someone will lose their queen and quit. At the higher rating levels, losing a queen is usually a tactic of some kind. A sacrifice or trade (for a rook and bishop for example). So they wont quit after the queen is gone. You can use the system already in place to your advantage. Play people who are 300 to 500 points above your current rating and you are not as likely keep suffering this problem you have.

Sometimes I exchange my Queen on purpose for a Rook, a bishop or knight and a pawn . . . I manage to keep on playing with a purpose . . .

You enjoy playing someone a Queen down? Did you used to burn ants with a magnifying glass when you were a kid?

I played someone before who is rated 500 plus above mine, first he gave his bishop for a pawn,  rook for nothing, his Queen for my bishop and two moves later I resigned...it's like, what the!!???

These forums are schitzo. First we have an enormous thread that complains about people who don't resign, when down, and now this.

Sounds like a mating combination.  Not as difficult as it looks because top players know how to load up the pieces to set up for it.

You are right. Paul Bartron, who I met on another site was an FM at the time and would sac his Queen by taking my F7 pawn and beat me more often than not. Granted, I had to allow the sac in the first 5 moves but it gave me healthy respect for the importance of that square.
