Hmm as a 700 rating new player, losing a queen, be it me or the opponent usually results in a huge disadvantage and leads to ragequits. And I sometimes lose it in really obvious ways too. 
Why you shouldn't always resign after blundering a queen.

I was watching it live as I had picked up a prize in the U120 graded section and had to stay for prize giving. Despite not caring about who won, it was still extremely nerve-racking just being in the audience. Must have been terrifying for the players.

Like others said, you did miss mate, and you did lose your queen, but you stuck with it! Good job on the win man. Nobody plays perfectly

Please note: 20 minutes.
The ten seconds don't matter for this moment. 20 minutes is relatively short in terms of time controls. Of course people aren't going to resign. blitzing is always a risk and every second is treasured as if there won't ever be another second ever!

No, he didn't.

Really. All of my arguments were present and you just had to go for this assumption?

Yes. I wonder if the 20|10 inc. time control would agree too.

So you're calling all of my arguments on how resigning isn't as bad as you think a joke?
I'm deeply offended.

A couple of days ago, at our university. I watched an undergraduate blundered his queen and both of his bishops and still won the game. Wish I took a picture or a recording. I guess it's all about skill.
Eh, it's more of luck. Luck that is really sometimes bulls**t for your opponent. You see, skill is personal, meaning that whatever skill you have does not have an effect on others. That undergraduate didn't win because he played with skill, he won because his opponent played with stupidity.

Now I can blame you for trolling.
Has all of my reasons gone over your head? Have the last few weeks of me providing decent claims about why resigning isn't such a bad idea suddenly became nonexistent because you refuse to be lectured by someone with a lot more experience than you think? I've played chess for 8 years, and I've been in situations where resigning in lost positions actually helped me relax more for future rounds. And I've been trying to tell you that, even with such success in this game, you can't just play and pray to "God" or whoever you praise to give you instant success. Playing with hope isn't the right way. And resigning in lost positions can help you fare better both mentally and socially.

What a strange argument indeed you guys. It's a forum classic..... you should have resigned, no i shouldn't have, yes you should have it's disrespectful, no because I won at the end, that's cause he played poorly, no I played well etc. The choice is easy, if you are a jedi, resign. If you are a sith, fight till the bitter end. In tournaments honestly just resign since you'll be giving yourself a headache trying to not lose a lost game, but on chess.com anything is possible.
