why do people give up when they lose their queen?

It's chess. Not "queen".

Depends on what kind of compensation was received for the queen. If I'm down the equivalent of a knight/bishop or more, and I see no real compensation, I will usually resign.

Some kings can't stand being bachelors.

It's hard to come back from being a queen down. All your opponent has to do is trade off pieces and he wins.

this is unusual. i think queen is the best piece ever. it is.
