Second thoughts...

Maybe permission should be asked before resigning. You're not going to learn if you resign!

Some view it as poor chess etiquette to continue to play after you've clearly lost. I think it depends on the level of player you are. I coach kids and at the young ones level I tell them never to resign. Sometimes they can even pull out a draw if their opponent blunders. 

The Rules are the Rules and Etiquette belongs in the powder room where they Bully people to wear Maybelline...lol

Don't ever asked for permission to resign. Never do that. My advice is if you see there is no way to win by mating your opponent or flagging him, then hit the resign button. There is no point in continueing to play if you have no hope of winning. Your better off resigning and start analyzing why you lost. Then go play another game.

unless your oppenent is using an engine...

pluss if you are playing for your team, and your game swings the match, better not  to resign...

I agree. You need to ask your opponent's permission before resigning.

True but if there in a lost position like......um.... if they lose their queen u don't have to ask for permisson,either way,you've got to resign and definitely if you're crying.

                                                   That last move is...ouch.

Could have been a mouse slip,but not lucky enough that Chess.com accepts takeback moves.

WoW, you have to ask permission from somebody to follow the rules of chess ? sounds like a Drastic, Cyber Bully Lynch mob tactic, Pulled from an elm street attic. 

Korchnoi was known to be an "early resigner" based on many of his games but you're referring to "clearly" lost positions...Well, Korchnoi must've thought he was "clearly" lost in the one too many games they (Grandmasters with post analysis) looked over and realized were not "clearly" lost. I personally have resigned in thousands of games where I saw no way of winning in the position nor any chance at all to Draw as that is a waste of my time and my opponent's time as well. In Blitz games however we also see Grandmasters dance pieces in very silly and distracting ways around the board with speedy pre-moves just to try to "win on time" when they admit in their videos that they know they have lost but have one last hope of "winning on time." I guess it depends on a few factors (including the Time Control settings of the games).

Nice way to put it, what if its the last game of a Match and the game counts as winning or losing the Match ? At higher ratings you may be playing an engine and they may get busted if you slow play them, and on the lower ratings , getting a stalemate is a good percentage...I dont wait around my self, but if the game means allot to the team your playing for, try and hang in there.

There are plenty of examples where a Grandmaster has been nursing a lost position but because their opponent has taken so much time off of their ow clock to continue building on the totally winning position that it's just part of the game that the player with the completely lost position kept on making moves (not just in Blitz games) as when the flag falls the game is indeed over; I agree..It might be a very important game at the moment.

If there's any possibility to win or draw, don't resign.  In two recent such situations I just tried to launch every piece I could to attack the enemy King or Queen a Pawn while I could get local material superiority on part of the board - otherwise my opponent would eventually organize his overall material superiority and win the game.  You can see from the chess.com Indexes I post before each game (I had White in both), Stockfish thought I made mostly really good moves - which I think is partly do to HAVING to make good moves when you are down!

In the first game below, a daily game, my opponent began this game rated about 200 points higher than me and I chose to go a Rook down but with a chance to counterattack after I blundered instead of down a couple Pawns plus awful position.  To my surprise it worked.

In the second game, a Rapid 15/10 game, my fingers slipped that cost me a pawn plus bad position then I blundered a N away.  But I tried to gain a local initiative and it almost worked - I was one P down when my computer somehow got disconnected with 30 seconds on my clock and I couldn't reconnect in time.  I'd probably have lost anyway but at least I had a chance!
