When do you resign?
Sort:
In the last month I hit 1000 rating for the first time. Once this happened, I noticed that my opponents seemed to resign sooner if I was beating them, and on a few occasions, angrily chat with me telling me to resign if I blundered or I had a bad position. Typically, I will play it out, no matter how bad it seems. Every now and then, even if I'm completely lost, I can sneak out with a draw, or sometimes a surprise win. For that reason, I don't see why I should resign just because things look bleak. When do most people resign?

I would say until you start reaching higher playing levels don’t resign in most situations. People make mistakes especially in blitz and bullet and just being regular people like you and me not gms. Resigning is a way of saying I trust that there is not possibility my opponent messes up this position. So if you believe that to be true then resign, if not continue playing!

@Thepizzamademedoit What on earth? Seriously? Can you not? It is not a race. People have varying amounts of energy they can put into chess. People can have fun at different levels. And it's less than 1.5 years since OP made the account so clearly, your intellect is superior as shown in your calculation abilities.

I resign when the position is hopeless absent a stunning series of blunders, although it’s true at my level one can always hope for a careless stalemate.
Comment #2 reflects a repulsive character.

I agree with pushingwood, I think that it does often make sense not to resign at this level. Unless you truly believe the position looks hopeless, what's wrong with proceeding and practicing stuff like defense and endgames? Some people may chat you about resigning (I remember getting "give up" lol) but ultimately it's your choice.

I’m not disagreeing with spicy chicken or pushingwood. Points are well taken. I don’t resign easily. When I do, maybe it’s paying respect to opponent that he’s beaten me and I’m not playing to the bitter end just hoping he makes stupid mistakes.

He was referencing blitz. Go back and read.
Sigh......

Well I respect whatever choice lol. I don't remember but I think i did resign a lot of positions at OP's level, but personally I think either way is fine.

Don't resign, don't give up. What are you? A wimp?
if you take joy in taking shots at some random stranger online, then sure ok, have at it. I'll stop responding to you in order to minimize diversions from the forum topic.

I resign really-really late... so late it borders on being rude. Even OTB.
I don't think that's good or bad... it's just what I'm comfortable doing.
But I never waste someone's time. When I'm dead lost, I don't take long on my moves.
Bro never resign because you learn more focus when you are behind. Besides you could end up drawing. Sometimes when your opponent is winning they kinda become too relax and are more prone to blunders.

You're doing the right thing by not resigning. The only time I resign is if it's a forced checkmate (which is mostly is)

Your account shows 2021. You only reached 1000 2 years later? Are you a retard?
Are you? It kinda feels like you are since there is many reasons that people don't have 1000
