Technically, it's not likely possible here, as one resignation will reach the server first.

If they click on the same time? Well the one with the faster internet/device wins.

But if it reaches the server at the same time, it will depend on how the server is coded

Computer operations are sequential. Nothing happens simultaneously.

I wonder what happens OTB...

I think it’s impossible to click at the same time, there will be at least 0.0000000000000001 second difference lol

I'd say they both lose

This is just a fun slightly goofy question guys, no need to go hammer and tongs on it

Actually, that one loses, right? Wins the race, loses the game (by resignation).

Nothing. You can't resign at the same time. Chess.com, for example, tracks down to the millisecond and getting both resignations, and that much accuracy is humanly impossible + you can't have 2 players resign if both have weaknesses (unless of course they are instructed to)

What would happen in an OTB game than?

Avatar of Lord_Cooki

Theoretically, if two machines programmed to resign at same millisecond, (because it's not humanly possible) it would probably result in a draw but i still feel like the player down material might lose but that's just my brain

For OTB, first person to offer resignation loses. There is no simultaneous resignation.

This is a good question. Also, what if one resigns seconds before the other?
