@sp1nnyc Nice to hear someone chime in about the analysis. I feel that learners don't really have anything to analyze.

I think of him more as a political historical figure, but we can arm wrestle over it.

The definition of historical is dead.

Died while I was still in graduate school in the twentieth century.

If you resign your games. You have a 100% chance of losing.
If you do not resign your games. You have less then a 100% chance of losing.
The math is simple.
Or you can look at players like GM Nakamura. GM Nakamura will mostly fight to the bitter end in losing positions.
That is why GM Nakamura has the reputation of being able to save lost positions even against other GM players.
GM Nakamura is the master of the swindle!.
yeah but i see absolutely terrible players around my range sprinkled around youtube yet i just lost a game because i was one pawn down which eventually turned into a difference of around 3 pawns but still, people are simply too good around here, another weird thing that i noticed is that its slightly easier to beat 1500s on lichess than 400-500s in here

No, It's a rare case. Sometimes you get stalemated, but yeah, you would still have a chance if you don't resign. There are many possibilities like, mis clicking, lost connection etc.
