1. Under 700 blunders happen every game more then once. So your opponent is going to give pieces away sooner or later;
2. Play for stalemate;
3. Learn obvious endgames. It is not sure your opponent can do it, but he or she can, learn from it.

Nope. But if I were you I would play on.

Ah, TumpaiTubo was faster then I was. ‘At our level’ goes up to my level I am afraid.
I have a recent game where I blunder my queen first and ten moves later my opponent does. Rating 1300-ish. If you really want I find the game for you.

Thanks for comments. Just for clarity i am referring more to opponents. I only resign when i have no chance of improving my position or if opponent has overwhelming advantage and i have no pieces or no moves left.
All other things being equal, opponent has been ahead then loses queen but still has strong pieces and viable position on the board, you dont find un sporting to abruptly quit?

No, it’s probably the best etiquette.

It shows respect to your opponent, basically saying “I know you’re gonna win this so I’m not gonna waster your time”

If you are losing and have better things to do with your time it is fine to resign. But it may be worth your while to play on hoping your opponent will blunder or you will be able to stalemate.
You are not supposed to play "hope chess" but sometimes that is all you can do.

Of course it's not, just as everyone else in this topic has noted. Personally, whether I resign or not depends on the ratings of the players, the number of times I have played with the opponent, the time control used and my mood for the day.
1. If the rating of my opponent is below 1500, I will probably play on with a queen down. But again, this depends on my mood and my subsequent points below.
2. If my opponent is rated 1100, but I have played with him 100 games and I know he is able to convert the game, then I will resign.
3. If the time control is 1 min and I am time up, I will not resign a queen down.
4. Sometimes, I feel like resigning. Sometimes, I feel like I should train to defend a position to the maximum possible extent while a queen down.

You're funny, Jessicatheprodigee.
Let me put it this way, I'd rather play against a sore loser than any kind of winner.
I'm siding with the majority here. It's poor etiquette to resign a losing position and denying your opponent checkmate.

I believe it is very poor form to resign a losing game with little time left. Just play it out. Losing games is part of chess. This seems to happen more in my 5 minute games than anywhere else. at the very least, request a draw. Personally I will always take a draw regardless if I am winning or losing. I feel like it's just polite. If my opponent resigns with little time left and then asks for a rematch I believe it is very offensive and a sign of maturity (or lack thereof).

Lol, some of you guys reaaaaallly nitpick over "chess ettiquette."
If one's oppenent resigns early they can just take the quick win and move on with their life. If it bothers them that much, they can request a rematch.
Me personally, if I lose my queen early I'm resigning (in chess, not in crazy house). What in God's name is the point of playing a game that's going to be a slow, excruciating, loss?
Like others have said, it seems like bad etiquette not to resign.
personally if my opponent doesn't resign after losing lots of material then I feel offended, as if I can't convert the win. Like whaaaat?
