The game is losing people left and right due to the reasons I've mentioned.

Too be quite honest man, the attitude you have is very off putting and is the kind that would drive people away. I have played plenty of games after blundering a piece or having a really bad position. I will try to focus on my opponents moves to see if they make a similar blunder and allow me to equalize or get the advantage, and that happens more than you think. It can be really good practice at our level. There is no rule saying we have to resign if we hang a piece.

Off putting is playing on in a losing position. It makes people hate the game and the people who act like it matters. When I've clearly won the game, it's just insulting to make me have to sit there and waste my time like that. I'm not a kid - I have other things to do that are far more important.

If you agree to game with a certain time limit, then you should be prepared the full amount of time, end of story. There isn't much more to it than that. You sound like a busy guy though, so you should probably get off of this forum and get to your far more important things.

If someone were to play on like in an OTB game, nobody would ever invite them back to the club.

Chess is a game where any man can win, even if you are losing at the time.

There are things called comebacks.

You should probably do something else for your life if you don't like chess instead of ranting stuff here.

That's the thing: I'm not like you guys. People like me, women find me attractive, I'm intelligent, fun to be around. I can't find a reason to spend my time sitting in crushing positions with people who are only playing the game because they don't have the same options in life as me.

Are you really trying to say that you're better than us?

It's your choice when you play a game of chess, and if you keep on playing after games that you're annoyed by, it's you fault, not ours.

Engine has the guy down -14 before I just refused to keep calculating and chasing his king around. WHY would someone not resign? WHAT could you people get out of a game like this? What a phenomenal waste of time and energy.

I'm done. This is sooooo stupid. I spend 99% of my time in games that are totally, long over with people who just refuse to accept a loss. This game will always be terribly unpopular due to the personalities in it. There's absolutely something wrong with people who won't resign in positions like that.

Before -14, it was +9.5 a move before. You could've resigned by that logic as well.

Chess seems to be doing quite well if anything. People like you aren't going to change that, lol.

What makes you think it's doing quite well? When was the last time you saw anyone care about this in America? Or even mention it? ...Never.

Chess.com is home to over 75 million users, and 70,000+ people have joined in the last 24 hours alone. I'm pretty sure people care.

Yes. A lot of losers have decided to sit home and do nothing all day and night since the pandemic got them used to it.

By losers I presume you mean yourself.

Anyone who's putting time and effort into real life is better than someone putting that same time and effort into Chess. Yes.

I really don't get why you're arguing about this.

You're still here, so you're still playing chess.

Grow up.

Well it's not our problem? Do you really think you're going to achieve something by this? Like an option when somebody is winning the other person has to resign?

But first he was +9.5 (27. Rc1 is bad because bishop covers that square), so by that logic, you should've resigned before he blundered back.

Yeah, see - this is just too much nonsense. I'm not sitting there calculating once the game gets complicated. It's just not worth the effort.

Let me get this straight for you.

You have to put in effort to actually win.

If you don't want to, just leave.

I'm honestly really annoyed at this point that you think chess is a thing where you will always win.

I shouldn't have to put the effort in. If you take me and my opponent, put us in front of a group of women, they're always going to pick me. My opponent should just resign immediately. There's nothing that he can do on the chessboard that's going to make him a better man than me and watching him grind away at nothing is the most stupid, ignorant thing I've ever seen.

That isn't gonna happen....

Bruh.

Chess.com is a place for playing chess, not for dreams.

The thing is, first he was winning after your rook move, you didn't resign, and he immediately blundered back, not seeing it. Then you didn't exploit it and the game was a draw.

Chess is a hobby. For instance you have recreational runners. One may want to run once every 2 weeks, the second one might want to run a sub 3:30 marathon.

Not everyone has the same goals with their hobbies. It is up to you to decide what do you want out of chess, and if you want anything at all. So, the point is, everyone can play as they see fit, as long as they do not let the clock run out or something like that.

Your view is that you should resign when you are down. Ok, that is fair, you have the right to play that way. But not everyone have to share the same views. It is up to you to decide if you can accept that or not. If not, well, perhaps you should go with your first instinct, especially if it is not fun for you.
