People are on some kind of power drunk to be asking someone to resign. Not sure what is the point of dictating how your opponent should play.
There is a HUGE thread for debating that issue. This is not the thread.

Asking a player to resign is just as bad as asking them to make any other move.
Give your opponents enough respect to let them decide what moves they want to make, including resigning.

Hey Smyslov. Did you get that question I sent messaged to you last night...with the link?
Could be considered rude, yes. Also, being down a Queen and two Rooks against someone rated 300 points higher and not resigning could be considered rude as well. Interesting that there are no rules on chess.com prohibiting such behavior. OK, it's not that interesting.

The last comment here (Post #48) is making the same question:

Maybe there´s some temporal restriction for new accounts.

Ha I think you're on to something I didn't know. Dang I thought I knew everything :) LOL
It seems both accounts are new like 2 days old. I never knew of any restrictions on creating threads for new accounts. This maybe a bug or a new site requirement. If it is a new rule I'm not sure how long before you could create a thread, I would only be guessing. I would try again for a few days and if still no create new forum topic link then PM me and I'll send you the link to contact staff support. Good Luck my friend :)
Yes, I do think that. You definitely have the right to finish the game...some may consider it rude under certain circumstances; however, you still have the right to play on. On chess.com, your opponent also has the right to ask you if you would consider resigning. You also have the right to consider that rude. One also has the right to consider it rude to not resign under certain circumstances. There is a MASSIVE thread debating this ad nauseum. I don't really care to do that. I got my answer. It is not against the rules to ask on chess.com. I feel it definitely can be considered rude to not resign, and it definitely can be considered rude to keep playing on when you are in a badly lost position. There are lots of rude things that happen on this site all the time, but it's a great site and the best chess site in my opinion. This is not FIDE or USCF, as you astutely observed.
the rule is simple.
don't ask for a resignation, it is literally the most BM thing you could ever do in a chess game.

It's against the rules harassing the opponent.And asking your opponent to resign is rude and harrassing , even when it is in a sweet and kind tone.
It's like saying:
"Can you please go to hell"
You said please , but it is still a curse.

From what I've read on the subject, the sin of "not resigning" is not nearly as offensive as "asking opponent to resign". Just imagine either of these happening over the board!
There was a thread recently about whether or not it is rude to get three Queens. Quite fascinating. You guys would like it. It might still be going. Anyway, I have my answer and the matter is settled. It is NOT against the rules of chess.com to politely ask your opponent if they would resign. I wasn't asking if some people think it is rude. I already know the answer to that. Thanks guys.
