Resigning sucks for the casual player

Uh no part of that was a troll except the gluteus one

Some of y’all are out of line and just askin for me to wrassle ya. Then I might spank ya

You might appreciate @ahsheet and his posts.

You couldn’t handle me trolling if you think this is me trolling. You’d be crying to your mama bout it.

I have TALENT

@ahsheet is better than you.

I have resignation rate of 86% of all the games I lost, lol. Just checked. Yesterday, I played against a guy who blundered his Queen but he didn't resign. Thankfully, I won. I would have been so mad if I somehow lost that game.

All the GMs say never resign but they have so many tricks usually the games pretty much over

My teacher had a cool way of looking at resigning the one time I took some lessons. Of course you want to make sure the other player has an extremely easy win and plenty of time... But his rule was;

If you could switch sides and still beat stockfish, then resign. If you switched sides and stockfish could come back against you, then don't resign. Watch exactly how your opponent goes about winning and learn something from their finishing technique.

That rule is fine but there is only one problem. You are not stockfish and you are playing against a similar-rated opponent. I once played against stockfish with Queen odds and I couldn't beat it.

Mine's less than 5%

Not trying to dunk on you or whatever. At higher level, people resign at a higher %, because skill level is higher and they aren't likely to make silly mistakes after you get behind.
