I reckon you saved that pretty well, although you didn't do as badly as me here: http://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=774095949 how I got a draw I'll never know. So now I never resign, especially on live

that's why i never resign

A good player isnt doing this. Also in a long otb game your opponent will surely win those winning positions and than Not to resign is just a waste of time...

otb and online, players are less likely to make mistakes and stalemate so you should resign, but on live more mistakes are made so I don't resign
19...b5 saves Black a lot of pain - he loses a pawn, but solves the development problems since 20.axb6 ep Rxc7 21.bxc7 Nxc5 22.b4 Nb7 is less dangerous that it looks - Black already threatens ...Be5.
28.c6 is just stupid. At least 28.Re8 beforehand.
36.b4 wins easily since a6 will fall and White will have two connected passers.
The final position looks indeed badly losing after 50.b5 Kc5 51.Kd3 Kxb5 52.Ke4 f6 53.Kd5.
There is no way the players here were 1300s. 1600s maybe.

Well, the poster is rated 1784 on online... Thought it wasn't that bad a match for a 1300s standard

Does a WGM with Elo 2345 fulfill the requirements to be called "good player"? In a team match two boards above me this beautiful game was played.
lol

Must have been a painful loss for black. I was really suprised he didn't see what was going on with white king.
Do you know what the time control was? Do you know if black was in time trouble toward the end?

I blundered a mate in one OTB when I was up a queen for a rook, totally winning. I know what you are talking about... It's the most painful thing ever.

If Black wasn't in time trouble, the last move was proably 45...shoots herself.

No, YOU learn that fighting sprit is more important than just giving up the whole thing. No matter it's what like sport or card games, you should always fight, even if you are disadvantaged.
I only resign when I'm tired or bored of the game.
Fighting spirit is of no help in completely hopelessly lost positions.
However, the posted game is not one of them. At least for me.

Lol your opponent should promote all those souls to royals to torture you because he is the one who tortured himself for drawing in a won position! :)

There had been mutual time trouble. Time control was at move 40, but she was in an extremely nervous state and kept on blitzing. The guy who was white said that he would have resigned immediately if she had just taken a deep breath and thought for a few seconds.
I should also add that she was also in a rather advance state of pregnancy, which might have contributed to her misfortune.
