(unless it is a blunder that makes you want to slap yourself, resign immediately and go somewhere private so that you can slap yourself)
Resign after blunder?
Sort:
resigning in the case of a big blunder plus a great opponent is necessary if you do not want to get humiliated.
shouldn't we just resign this discussion?
pfft, i resign if my opponent doesnt blunder.

If i blunder a piece, i will try attack, or try something that if im lucky will work. If i dont have anything to do, but lose slowly, then i just resign.
Check out this article by Silman, when is the right time to resign:

I resign immediately when the following are true:
1) I believe I'm lost and
2) I believe my opponent is good enough to prove it and
3) I believe he can prove it without difficulty.
For example if I drop a piece against a beginner it's no big deal. If I drop a piece against a master but the position is still messy, I wait until my chances have disappeared and the win is simple.
Agree 100%
There's probably at least one other post that says it's bad form NOT to resign after you blunder away a piece, because you are insulting your opponent otherwise.
I resign when I feel that I'm lost with nothing much to learn, or if I'm just getting sick of a game that's going downhill. Or if I'm playing live chess and a friend stops by, or if I just feel like it. I don't think we need to concern ourselves with what our opponents think about it. They are getting a win, and can start a new game with a more interested opponent, what is there to complain about?
If I blunder and lose a queen, I'll hang on and try and capture his queen but usually that doesn't happen so I'll resign soon after.

Resigning shows you don't enjoy playing a very hard game in the remote hope you might win.
When you put it that way it makes me want to resign more often.
Chess is a very hard game people play in the remote hope they might win. So if I'm playing a player much better than me than i resign immediately.
Really? Tell me more about this chess thing!
Fighting hard for a win can be fun, but at a certain point it becomes ridiculous. I guess people have different ideas of where that point is, hence the disagreement. But certainly if you are at a point where you can only hope your opponent blunders, you should resign.

I consider it bad form to continue to drag out a game when down a piece. The flip side is that my opponent may also blunder if I continue, but what is the point? Then I develop the Habit of the Sloppy Game.
Always. Life is too short to play losing positions.

I don't resign if I lose a piece. What if my opponent loses a piece too? Then it will be even and the game will continue. Depending on the position , if the position is bad, and you lose a piece and your about to lose another piece then you should resign. If I lose a piece and the position is still good then I won't resign. You could offer a draw(I don't) if your losing but I think they won't accept it because your opponent knows that there winning. I wouldn't resign if I lose a piece only if it is the queen or the rook.
I would keep playing the game.

I never resign even after the loss of the Queen.
It is unfair to my opponent. Maybe he wants to enjoy his huge advantage over me.
I don't want to deprive him minutes of joy. )

blitz? = keep playing
long game = if there are still chances, it doesn't hurt. If you're dead lost, have some sportsmanship and resign.
bullet = have you ever not blundered a piece in bullet?

yep if i blunder any good piece i instantly resign even if im in a good position. I just cant accept myself blundering
u bumped the forum after a 10 year gap 
It's absolutely not poor form to continue. Play till the game finishes imo.
It all depends on your opponent, phase of the game and exact position.
If I blunder a queen, I would probably resign immediately(unless I'm playing against a beginner).
If I blunder a minor piece in the opening, I would continue to play for some time to see what will happen. If I blunder a minor piece in the ending, I would resign if I know it would be a lost game from now on.
