At the risk of starting a flamewar - generally accepted conventions on resignation
Resigning is generally considered polite. This is especially true at higher levels, Most chess players have seen many mates, and aren't perticularly impressed by most of them. Not resigning is often considered impolite, and will really irritate some people. Although one shouldn't resign unless you feel comfortable with it, to be frank you probably won't make as many friends that way. If you know you have lost - but still think there is something to be gained from playing the game tell your opponent. If you say sometihng like "I know i've lost - but I really want to see this rook + 2 pawns vs rook endgame" most players won't mind, in fact they might be flattered that you want to watch their technique. Just make sure to ask a question like this.That's nice, but he only lost a queen. No other pieces.
Only his Queen with no compensation? Sheesh! Fair-weather player.
*Shakes head ruefully*
I had someone's queen in 5 moves and I haven't suffered any loses. I got excited cause I knew that if I had their queen I would have control over them and then I could take their pieces one-by-one until their king falls. BUT as soon as I took his/her queen they freaking resigned >.> I got like +10 rating when I could've probably gotten much more...it was a piss off >.>
Again another pointless forum :P
