Quiters! I hate them.

Thanks for contributing. 

When you say quite you mean "resign", right? But I almost never have players going until the very end if they see the mate coming, at least not in a rapid or Daily game. This kind of stuff you see mostly in games from players under 1000.

Funnily, this happens some days ago and it was very interesting - he resisted until the very end, checkmate with the rook. In the next game my opponent resigned "only" one move before mate (which is already a progress, right?), and in the next he resigned after losing a piece (having already a pawn down), and this was in my point of view exactly the right moment to give up, as the game is over.

The OP has a broom up his arse.  End of Story.

Thanks for this breath of sanity.  Much appreciated.

Few bother to read threads; they simply post their BS at the end of the thread, w/o reading anything of substance within.  Neat trick.

People should just show respect and resign on move 1.

1. f4... resigns
1-0

i h8 resigning

So let me get this straight. If I feel like I'm going to lose in the first or second move I should resign/quit because it is the honorable thing to do because I'm not only saving myself time,but also the opponents time? How in the hell am I ever going to learn anything If I do that? 1st If I play to the end I may end up with a w.most likely not but I will learn how to finish. 2nd If I keep quitting ( yes like a yellow belly) how am I ever going to learn how to win. 3rd If you don't have time to play a single game let a lone a rematch you shouldn't start a match to begin with. Yes I lose more than I win, Yes I'm ok with that, because I like playing chess. I just really hate those people that know/think they are going to lose so they give up. To me that's BS! Call me what you will,say what you will about my English,and or play. I don't care. Like the title says I hate quitters! Excuse me but I thought the point of chess was to win,Not to quit. What was explained to me as a young lad, was it's the art of war. You win or you lose. That to me means you never quit or give up like a yellow belly!

So please tell me how bad my English is. Or how I'm so very wrong for thinking a game should be played to the END! Unlike some people I can take the criticism!

I'm going to play now. So quiters get ready to quit!

People on t'internet just don't get sarcasm.

Plenty of people resign precisely because they enjoy chess though.  Actual competitive chess rather than just moving pieces around.  So they resign and play another game in the time the person who didn't resign was just playing out a lost game.

Man...are you missing out...

Time to stop following this thread

For me, continuing a lost game is an insult to your opponent. If I know I lost, I'm not going to hope my opponent makes a dumb blunder. I'm going to resign and congrats to the winner.

At your level, you never quit.

Huh? There is that tipping point when one's position is decidedly worse. And I trust that my opponent can and will play this out successfully. Sometimes, I might ask permission to quit. Other times, I  t h i n k  my opponent would rather play a new and exiting game than finish the job. 

Perhaps we can expect colored icons like "want to finish the game, or may I quit?" and "care for a re-match?"  

Not just the win, but the stuff you learn from chess.
