Should my opponent have resigned?
Sort:
You gotta be kidding !!
He probably resigned in lieu of hxg6, Rxg6+ Qg7, Qxg7#
If he doesn't take the bishop then it's mate when you move it away... Imagine it is white's move. Bh5+ Qg7 Qxg7#
If black captures the bishop with the pawn, it lets white force mate easily. The only move I see for black which doesn't lead to a quick mate is Qf6, and that allows white to play Bxe8+ (discovered check.) So white wins a free rook, and is also able to force a queen trade and a bishop trade. That puts him in an endgame up with his two rooks to blacks one rook, and with blacks king trapped in a corner.
Can't blame him for resigning, IMO.
I was playing who I consider a superior opponent in a game where I was trailing for most of the game. My opponent has a pawn advantage. They resigned when I made an aggresive move on their king's side of the board. I'm not sure that they should have. What do you guys think? It's BLACK'S MOVE, not white's like the diagram says.
