resigning after losing ur queen
Sort:
I find it really sad that people resign after losing their queen. Wouldn't u want to continue playing to learn to play better without her? I could at least play for a draw or even a win though odds are against it. U could even queen a pawn with some luck
For me, being so low, and usually playing other low rated people, if I lose my queen, I keep playing because he may blunder away his queen later

At higher levels it is better to resign IMO because you are wasting time, but that does not mean you should resign if you still have attacking chances.
So basically, according to the chess.com forums, if you every find yourself in a losing position you're screwed, because you're damned if you resign and damned if you don't.

I like your sarcasm, but stop encouraging that type of crappy behaviour that those zhithead kids beat me over the head with every single time I sit down to the board.
Whatever u think macerate but not only is it a good chance to learn how to play without ur queen but it's also a good chance for the one with the queen to try different strategies that they wouldn't have played otherwise
I don't care if they resign or not. A win is a win. I'm just saying how could u ever learn to play without ur queen if u never do. Thing is some of these players are higher rates than I
It's possible to sacrifice your queen in certain positions for some type of compensation, so that obviously wouldn't be a resignable situation. I realize that that wasn't really your question, but I will also mention that I recently lost my queen for a knight and rook and still won, so merely losing the queen isn't fatal.
I play the game without my queen up to the point where I can't queen a pawn or I have no other attacking pieces. Lol. Not true I have resigned with a rook, three of awns and a king

i was in a pub in london i had the times chess puzzle a chess set and a pint , the barmaid a polish woman stopped to watch i invited her to play , she got the nod from the landlord as it was quiet ,
my chess set had only 1 queen tho , i normally improvised , but said its ok i will play a queen down , a steady war of attrition then got played and of course i lost but it was fun although i will not underestimate a chess player again
Very good anok

Indeed. I guess it depends on the person. I have been playing this game for over 30 yrs. It has been quite sometime since I've ever lost my Queen without my consent.
Heh. Anyways, yeah, I would resign if I lost my Queen, and not sac'd her. I'd congratulate my opponent on his nice play (cursing him out in my mind all the while) and be on my way with another game. Regardless of rating difference. It sucks being a Queen down. To me, I learn how to play without my Queen by an early equal exchange. Cool. The best way to learn how to play when you lose your Queen is to learn how to mobilize your other pieces to advantageous positions first, pawn play, controlling the center (blah blah) then bringing her out to her most optimal spot to deliver the coup De grace. Or looking to sac her for a rook, knight, ___ pawns or whatever. Not just for free though.
Other than that, people who play on hoping for a miracle blunder is cool. It's just that in my experience, it's a fruitless task in the long run.
