Blundering my Queen sometimes makes me want to resign when my other pieces are relying on it
If you blunder your queen, do you keep playing or resign?

When I was first learning, the person with the title of 'top chess player' in our school was playing against me. He was very cocky and even mocked some of my moves. Midway through the game he blundered his Queen. When he realised his mistake, first he tried to take it back, then when I said it was too late, he smashed all the pieces on the floor. If he hadn't mocked me, I would have let him take it back.

I look for any hope at all first. Traps, swindles, clever tactics, or fortresses. If there is no hope I will resign against a good player. If I just blundered against a bad player I might keep going to see if they screw up.
yee. One time I played a 1200. I knew I was absolutely screwed, he was up many points of material and had several mating threats, but I kept on going thinking that at his low rating I could set up some stalemate trap. Didn't happen, I lost lol.
keep playing, you never know!!
If I'm down material by 3 or more I resign, your opponent is usually smart enough to not blunder a piece.

I've won a game against an opponent rated 100 points higher than me blundering my queen, so I keep playing when I lose my queen.
I usually go in a 50-50. If they're realy good players I resign. If they're rated 100 above me or wah below me I keep playing. If its very low rated opponents I wave it off
Glad I didn´t resign in this: https://www.chess.com/game/daily/300134812

I will not resign because i can
- Trap the opponents queen then eat it
- Use rooks, knights and bishop to win

It's circumstantial, but more often than not. I resign against similar ranked players when I would take 1-20 odds if we reversed sides

Normally if I blunder something critical in a position (a queen definitely counts!), I'll immediately go for an all-in attack. It works once in a while, and if it doesn't, I know within a couple moves and I haven't wasted much time.
i will resign,because when you lose your queen,the game will become very hard

I usually play about 4-6 more moves to verify if my opponent knows how to proceed. If he allows counterplay I will play on. If he keeps control I’ll resign
Well, it depend on the situation. But normally please don't. Your opponent might plunder their own queen, you'll never know.
I did a blunder and offered my queen for free in an OTB tournament game. My opponent spent 5 mins analysing the board before congratulating me on a brilliant move and resigning.
I never did figure out what he saw that I didn't but ended up finishing third overall and took home a small prize. I wish I had noted the game lol.
