Why do many people quit after losing their queen?

Depends on my position. If I am about to get mated and I don't have time to flag or stalemate, I will resign. If the other guy has significantly more time than me, I would resign but sometimes you have to push through and play some stubborn chess and people blunder the game. Of course if they were Magnus Carlsen then forget about it

Nickolay vs ooyee guy played a trash opening and still killed you lmao

How is your level so high brother

Exactly my point, with players at my level of noobness(lol) make a lot of careless blunders so I can recover most of the time

yes that's true, the queen is truly a complex piece, but deadly if able to be exploited well. Losing doesn't mean the end of the world though

it means the end of the game though

 without the Queen, they won't be able to win, especially if their opponent still has their one

Um well at my rating, if I am down a minor piece I usually resign, unless it is in bullet.

You can't compare chess to soccer, they are very different. Why? In chess you have only one way to win (if we rule out the time) and it is to checkmate your opponent. That's why the game is being played and what you try to do with every move of yours. So there is only one main goal to achieve in order to win. Unlike in football you don't have single main thing you have to do. It only matters to score more goals than your opponent at the end of the game. Imagine players being like pieces and your opponent removes your goalkeeper from the game. Would it make sense to keep playing on? You know how the game is going to end, and there is no way to prevent it. You can just hope your opponent go insane and start scoring auto goals because thats the only way you are going to win. In chess you can be a losing side all game, suffer, be dominated and your opponent has +10 adventage with even material (like winning atleast 3-0 in football match) but there is no way you lose until he checkmates you. He doesn't get additional points for playing great, he only gets better chance of winning. And all of that can be gone with one bad move which blunders a mate. Game over just like that. There is no slow shift from 3-0 to 3-5 (3-1, 3-3 than 3-5) to win like in football, its simply 3-infinite out of nothing, game is over and your 3 is nothing compared with checkmate. That you can't see in a football match. It happened so many times to me and many other, if you have time check this out https://youtu.be/Izdzsd5cGOk . Its a great example of what Im trying to say and both players are proffesional chess players one being a GM and the other one on his way to become one (2100 at the time). That's why chess and football can't be compared in terms wheter or not to resign. In football you should play until last whistle blow and giving up is a proof of no will to play, love for the game and being scared to lose even more while in chess you should play on only when you still have a chance to equalise otherwise resign, show some respect, save some time and admit your mistakes and learn from them.

@ChesswithNickolay please cut the crap. What levels are you talking about? Calm down, being 1800 equals zero with behaviour like that. Dont act like know it all, better than all of you and stuff like that. Because we have the same rating now I have to say people I play and me myself still blunder and by that I mean A LOT. Simple tactics, free pieces, #M and what not. I have missed so many opportunities and also created some for my opponents. Only difference between anyone rated below is that I do it once in 5 games and they do it once in 2 games wheter or not it's taken adventage of. I myself am I believer that you should do whatever you want (&is allowed) in a chess game and nobody should tell you to resign or not. Its your own choice what to do, I can only give an advice based on my experience to lower rated guys and my opinion to higher rated ones. We may agree, we may not it doesn't matter at the end.

I was in an arena today and it matched me with an 1100, almost half my rating. I foolishly blundered my queen on like move 5. I still felt pretty comfortable that they wouldn't be able to win up a full queen. I got them to resign less than 15 moves later lol.

The queen is the most important piece on the board. Without it, life fades.

No, they are blunders lol. Stop acting high and mighty. You’re as mediocre at the game as I. How are you higher rated than me? I don’t get it… at least I can admit I am bad.

If 2000s (FIDE) blunder, you do too.

You have a statistic on that? Source please.

Okay? And wins can have blunders in them? Still haven’t given me a source. Give me a source for that, too.
