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

There's a difference between exploiting many weaknesses and slowly making the opponent's position collapse and setting up a mate in one and "hoping" your opponent misses it.

Also, it's not "achieving checkmate" that annoys me, it's the fact that the opponent refuses to acknowledge that the winning side is, well, winning. Similar to how Hitler "lived under the delusion that the Third Reich would prevail" in 1945 with all fronts collapsing.

No there isn't. Without the first weakness or the first blunder those exploits can't happen. You spend every game "hoping" you don't blunder and "hoping" your opponent does. And of course your opponent can see your winning, but there's a huge difference between winning and won.

"Not all blunders are equal"

Exploiting weaknesses (like weak squares, colors, backwards pawn, etc) takes much more skill then setting up a mate in one and hoping your opponent doesn't see it.

Yes I will resign, mate is inevitable.

But you still hope to avoid blunders and hope your opponent makes them.

you can't "hope" to "avoid" blunders. 

If you make a blunder it's either lack of attention or lack of skill or both. 

To make your opponent blunder, you need to apply pressure in the position, which takes skill.

Setting up a mate in one doesn't qualify for any of that.

You can replace the word "draw" with "resign" and it still makes complete sense. 

@thecalculatorkid

is the guy at an otb tournament who always plays until mate (so everyone has to wait for him for the next pairings/or for the final standings/prizes) and "thinks" for 5 minutes every move - even though he's just shuffling his king back and forth.

@snudoo you just contradicted yourself there

@rytsar25507 why would I spend 5 minutes to move the King? That makes no sense.

you'll have to be more specific.

@UWillResignYesYouWill 😂 

I'm shocked and offended that people are shocked and offended.

you clearly have no problem wasting time playing on and on and on.

yeah I have to agree with calculator kid here. We still have to wait but that's an unreasonable amount of time.

@uwillresignyesuwill

its a hyperbole,

@rytsar25507 were did I ever state I would spend 5 minutes in between moves.

You didnt. You just seem like the type of person who would.

You guys seem like the kind of guys to argue about biscuits.
