Resignation

Resigning is not always a bad thing. You may be called a rage-quitter or a sore loser for resigning, but that isn't the case. Resigning lets you and your opponent play another game. That said, your opponent may be looking forward to an actual checkmate. The best way to resign is to (if you can) ask the opponent in the chat if they would be okay with you resigning. Resigning isn't quitting. If you know you are losing, then it's okay to ask to resign. It's often considered polite even. In short, resigning is not a bad thing as long as you ask the opponent. Thank you for your time.

Pressing the button is enough

Well I usually like to play until checkmate when I have a losing position. Why not! But if the opponent just plays around and tries to convert every pawn to a queen for fun I resign.

I had multiple games where my king was on his own, or 1-2 pawns that were stuck, had a completely lost endgame but still was able to stalemate with my king. It's always funny when it happens. So that's another example why I don't like to resign.

I'm not sure about the chat function. I really don't want to chat with my opponents in a game.
