yeah i'm surprised that they don't have a symbol. but it would have to be something that represents both colors separately or two different symbols (one for black resigning and one for white resigning so you'd know which side resigned).
i kind of like the $ idea (just as arbitrary as the #). but you'd probably need $w for white and $b for black or something similar.
Or just a $ in the place of the player's next move.
I know what you mean, but I think the official ones are "1-0" (black resigns) and "0-1" (white resigns).

Correct :)

Good! So let's include that in the notation of chess.com games. Why not?
The problem with 1-0 and 0-1 is that you never know what happened. It may be a loss on time, cell telephone forfeit, disqualification, resignation, etc.

Oh good, so I am not only the one who sometimes stares at the final position of a GM game and wonders what on Earth happened.
Hi guys,
Kudos to attisondog. I never thought of this, but it certainly seems like a good idea to me.
Watch your backrank.

Some coaches actually consider this a good exercise for their students. Take a grandmaster game that ended in resignation, and see if you can play the winning side against a computer (or master strength coach) and win. Play out the same position multiple times until you get it right. Let the computer play the winning side once if you can't figure out what technique to use.
I was going through one of Short's games where it became a N + extra pawn vs "bad" bishop endgame with pawns on both sides, yay, I get to see a GM grind out some endgame technique. Well it didn't work out that way, after 10 moves Short lost, I have no idea what happened... I can only guess he ran out of time.
It would be nice to have a symbol for resignation, maybe just "R" where the move should be for the side that resigned.
idon't like it either
Just write how the game ended at the end of the 1-0 or 0-1 or whatever. Like this:
1-0 (black resigns)
0-1 (white resigns)
1-0 (black's mom called him down for dinner)

Yeah. Why not do that?
If we want to answer questions about how a result occurred and are looking for some level of completeness, don't forget this handy notation:
( ; •ー_一 •)
(ー_ー﹡; )
(＊╯_╰)
Which is useful to annotate a game when one player calls officials over to accuse another of cheating, which is vehemently denied. However, the accused refuses to allow an underwear check and agrees to leave the premises.
Usually I write "Resigns" whenever there is a resignation in my games. Or "Time" whenever there is a loss due to running out of time. But I agree, a symbol would be nice...
There is a symbol for resigns. It depends on who resigns:
White: 0-1
Black: 1-0

White: 0-1
Black: 1-0
But like WGM Pogonina said, the 1-0 or 0-1 could be due to several factors! Maybe time control, or cell phone going off, or lack of clothing... There needs to be a universal symbol for resignation!
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d3 d5 6.dxe4 -_-' 1-0
I'm just saying. I hate it when I'm going through a game on the computer and I click for the next move and nothing happens. I mean, it's not that unusual for my computer to be slow! So I click again...then check the notation....and by then all the thrilling velocity of the endgame has sputtered away. Should be something simple, preferably something on the keyboard. I was thinking of $ for "cashes out." (Or @ for "at peace.") You probably have better ideas.
