Yes. Ethnically resignation is always your opponent's choice. It is never yours.

The thing is rude by itself, however you deliver it.

No, don't do it. Just because a player is down a lot of material doesn't mean they can't win or don't have a winning position. They might've deliberately sacked those pieces to set up a win.

Avatar of JamesColeman

All you’ll achieve is them delaying their resignation even longer out of spite. Either way, some players never resign and it’s just one of those things you have to accept.

Arrogant. How do you know if they may have a cunning plan?

Of course it's wrong.

Avatar of Optimissed

Doesn't matter if they're losing because they have a right to make you checkmate them, if they wish.

No. It isn't nice no matter how you say it.

Avatar of VenemousViper

And maybe they deliberately sacrificed the pieces to checkmate or draw.

Earlier i was playing a game and this person was down a queen and a rook had a terrible setup and was low on time and it just annoyed me because this person could not win and their was almost 0 chance of a draw.

Yes. You have no business telling other players what to do. They can fight on to the bitter end if they please. There are no points in chess, only checkmate, and many games are won by the player with less material.

It is rude to tell someone to resign.

Avatar of BlueScreenRevenge

Yes, it is wrong regardless of the position. If you do it to me in an OTB tournament, I'll probably say "no talking," and if you do it again, I'll complain to the arbiter.

Yes, it’s wrong. Just play.
