You see what i mean?
Why Resign?
Sort:
Better than resigning wait for the opponent to blunder, isn't it?
Why? You have a chance to win, right?

I'm not playing for the World Championship. Unless it is a team game winning really isn't that important to me if I've played badly enough to be in a resignable position

It’s funny I never expect my opponents to resign. I’m always trying to figure out how to win the game no matter how far ahead I am. I am usually genuinely surprised when they resign.
The only time I resign is if I desperately, absolutely, positively have to go. (Not counting correspondence.)

True. I’m in the middle of a corespondents game right now that was started in 1864.

If u resign the opponent would get more confident next time playing with you. So play till the end, right?

Yeah cos an opponent who has to beat you on the board with 2 Bishops and a Rook up will be quaking in their boots next time they face you because you didn't resign...such a show of strength would probably make them resign 1st move against you next time.

always resign even if the game is winnable
you dont want to make your opponent feel bad by beating them

Why do you want to feel bad about him? Because u would feel bad if u lose.

I have to wait 5 mins between games because I keep aborting games. Also I resign because I know I can't win.
What If you win, huh?
You have a chance.

Well it's their fault for not converting! I was once down a Queen for a Knight, (With a Rook for each side) and my opponent had # in 1. I won that game (not on time either!)

I resign games that I make stupid mistakes in that I cannot salvage. I don't think I learn much from trying to play out a hopeless position that I know where it went wrong in the first place.
