Resigning is annoying.

God, whenever I play a full long match, then at the last moments of reaping the benefits of my efforts, my opponent resign! Like the match is actually about to end, we spent a lot of time thinking and playing, why you don't just leave make us complete the game?

Honestly I always just complete the match with computer, because I dislike abandoned / unfinished matches.

I only complain because chess environment does motivate players to resign, like it's a sportsmanship. Chesscom can do a thing about it at least, some limitations /or account restraints.

Sounds like a weird complaint. Resigning is part of the game.....it's not the same as abandoning or not finishing the game. Chess is a simulation of war. Your opponent has raised the white flag and said no more. Would you kill every last soldier on the battlefield? You and them know it's over, so you'd want them to willingly sacrifice the rest of their men?

I don't want to kill every soldier, I want to hunt the King. So if I forgive them after they resigned, they may do a rebel war. I must checkmate the King

When I was noob, I was killing every chess piece until I can checkmate, but now I do a quick assassinations on the King.

That's essentially resigning - they are giving up their leader

What pills are you currently on? You might need to take some more

Plough you literally just joined the community 49 minutes ago, if you continued your past behaviors they will just block you again.

Just saying you kinda sounded like you were going on a mad man's rant in your second post in this thread.

I also think as wondervine

resigning saves time you already won the game if they resign

Resigning is better than abandoning.

He makes a very good point on this, though, despite whatever he has said in the past.

Get over it, dude!

i never resign because my coach says not to but people are rude to me if i dont resign

sometimes their rude in otb chess so i cant ignore it

I tell my students to hang in there to see the winning method. After they get more experience, resigning is then OK.

Ufff, you're the type of people who check profiles.

My personal opinion is:

I start a game knowing there will be winning or losing, and sometimes a draw. Either I or the other player will experience one of these outcomes (winning/losing) or a draw. So, I really try my best not to resign or abandon the game. But when somebody does that, it really feels awkward, like they refuse to stick with what they started.

Also, it's not necessary for the losing side to have all their pieces captured or for the winner to promote every pawn to an excessive number of queens. It's just a waste of time.

It's a game, not a battlefield, at least not these days. So, if I don't have the time or mindset to play a 10-minute or 30-minute game, I shouldn't start it.

Again, this is my personal opinion. I've never played any title match, and my rating barely exceeds three digits.

Resigning is a sign of respect. If your opponent resigns, then he/she knows you can win in that position.
