Generally I will resign if the game is lost. Sometimes, however, I like to get creative and see if I can pull off a braw. It really depends on the game.

You see I like the thrill of the kill, the taste of victory through checkmate, maybe not the same for everyone.

It's surprising the amount of people mess up the finishing people off.

depends on the rating. as I was 1200 rated I couldn't count how many times players overlooked mate in one during games otb

Make them checkmate you. I've often won in losing positions because they will eventually bluner pieces

Yeah I think you're right because if there sharp enough they will kill me off quickly anyway!😊

In OTB games it is advisable to stress your resignation by removing the king from the board: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNQjXHjRkNQ

I've seen that before. The infamous Irena Krush King-Fling.

What a trip.
