why do some poeple never resiging in online chess?

The checkmate rule is a nasty one.

my oppenent has the right to not resign but i also have the right to not checkmate him

Interesting concept.  My opponent won't resign, so I won't checkmate him.  We will play this game forever!

I dont , always , resign , even , if im lost  , BUT i do always resign when im lost and , most important, I FEEL I LOST !!!

not for ever ofcourse. i just like 25 more moves wiht some underpromotions, just for fun.

we should organise some vote chess games between poeple who never resign and poeple who do resign and wanna keep playing till there oppent resigns or wait 25 extra moves to mate them.

Who's being the the child in this situation?

we are both equal in being childisch. i am a child btw and i enjoy to keep playing games as long as i want unless i am lost. if that means i am childdisch i don't want to be an grownup.

If you're having fun, why did you start a thread complaining about it?

it doesn't border me that they keep playing i just would not do it. i started this topic to find out why they keep playing in a lost possition. now i kind of know why they do it.

I corrected my statement.  I don't think refusing to resign to someone of your level is childish at all, but it is very childish and unsporting to claim that you "have the right to not checkmate him."  There's no logic to it, it's just acting like a spoiled baby.

do what i do. don't mate them as soos as possible. promote some powns to knight and bischops for fun.

the rules don't forse you to give mate if possible.

Bottom line, resigning is an option, it's not the default way to win.  It seems very strange to me to see all these threads asking "why don't people resign?"

This whole thing seems the same as refusing to claim a draw in a drawn position, and expecting the opponent to claim the draw.

SIlliness.  I guess expecting maturity on the internet is silly too, though.

Nonsense.  First, respect like that is earned, not automatically entitled.  The behavior shown by people like the OP show that they're not deserving of that sort of respect, not to mention there's the definite possibility of a blunder.

Second, anyone who whines like a baby about not getting "respect" is definitely not deserving of it.

Calling someone ignorant doesn't win any points.  I suggest you grow up as well.

i am still on GM Maggy's side

I don't know about respect needing to be earned. That can happen but you can also get back what you throw out, so if you respect people, you might get it in return. Never a guarantee of course.

Hope that's not too philosophical.

it isn't

There's respect for someone's ability, and there's respect for the person.  It seems that some people here don't get the distinction.

As long as the likelihood exists that someone could blunder away a win (e.g., by stalemate), they don't deserve a resignation, and they haven't earned that first kind of respect.  It has nothing to do with the second kind of respect.

There should be fewer threads about this topic, and more threads on why some people need six heavy pieces and twenty moves to checkmate in a totally won game.  I'll admit, I've done it.  But then I asked myself: why?

Ego boosting?

They're not playing against the OP, are they?  You keep saying I don't understand chess, but the more you talk, the less you appear to understand it yourself.
