Would You Resign In this Position (It's still going on now)

Do you not realise it's you in the wrong here? Your opponent blundered, so obviously he plays on in case you blunder. You aren't teaching him a lesson in anything other than justifying his decision to play on. Every time you make a sub optimal move, his chance of securing stalemate increases. He isn't wasting anyone's time, you are.

You're absolutely 100% correct. I only now realise this yes. I've changed my mind due to comments similar to yours. Appreciate the feedback.

Pawn promotes to queen E8 is mate, it's unlikely that'll be missed so yes

I mean there is only one move it's not worth clicking a little button, when it is or stalemate or checkmate:

This game though was very annoying, I had checkmate in one and mouseslipped, your opponent was probably hoping for something like that:

I resigned here because I was crushed psychologically

Ooh nightmare, yes i see. In my case it was a daily game with the confirmation button on so this was unlikely to happen - but i of course take your point.

chamo2074

It's the added fact of it being (or would have been!!) mate that will - hopefully - never happen again.

Yeah, trying to find something that rhymes with checkmate:

From checkmate to ...

I would have done that.

And me every time. My mistake was getting annoyed that he didn't do the same. We are all different and that is good. Still annoying thoughhappy.png.

had this guy play on in a K+P endgame. Doesn't sound so bad, right? Except I had a queen. 

So I just pushed all my pawns up the board and checked him a bunch before putting him out of his misery lol

Genuinely great to hear i'm not the only one that gets to play sub optimum moves to have some fun before winning at will. I presume people play on because they're annoyed and don't won't to resign. I must learn to just play the position best. That's my guess but why do they go on and on you think please? Is it really just childish, sour grapes from all these adults?

There’s a chance you could forget and lose on time, which is prob what they are going for. Maybe they want to prolong the loss so they can keep their rating points to join a tournament/team match (some matches have rating requirements). There are many reasons. Ofc another is that they just don’t wanna resign - I’ve played people like that otb.

It is too risky for me to have fun because my conncection can go at any time. I had once 2Q vs Lone K and my opponent chatted me and he stopped playing, I lost my connection and the game wasn't even a draw!!!!!!!!!!! It was a loss!!!!!

sndeww

this is a daily game so connection doesn't matter lol

chamo2074

oh daily game lol didn't notice

I see what you're saying but is it not a bit disrespectful and pointless to go on and on and on in such a losing position. It's a matter of opinion and i see what you're saying.
