I know. But do not resign when you are losing. You always have a chance.

True, but if you are really losing like 20 points behind then resign for good.

Plenty of people have given plenty of reasons why they resign.  Your response is always just to keep asking the same question. Yes, sure, your opponent may drop dead during your game and if winning at all costs means everything to you than sure, keep playing on in the faint hope that will happen.

I mean if you lose all your good pieces and your opponent has all their good piece would you still play? or resign?

Resign games that you are totally lost positionally or tactically. Positions you cannot salvage.

in the positions if the oponent plays wrong move the game we can win thats why we should not resign

True, but what are the chances of that happening. If you are playing a pro or intermediate player than resign.

I don't need chess puzzles to help out.

There's no harm in playing till the end. You lose just just a minute. If you can't spend a minute for chess then you play chess for fun.

You do have a point.

Then why are you supporting resignation?

Did I miss a rule where suddenly all games end in 1 minute once you are in a position where you would resign?!

if you want to resign you should not play chess

if your opponent does a mistake you can win or it can be a draw
