Lol of course there are no hard feelings and apologies are accepted of course! Some people on here are just really beginning to annoy me! Especially the increasing amount of people who appear not to know algebraic notation. It is a key part of chess and is one of the first things you should learn. Sheesh.
Time to go tell the people of this miracle! To the spirituality forum! Soon we'll have a whole army of supporters of this new religion. What shall in be called? Freddism?

hey, i need an opinion, if you know you are going to lose, is it best to resign and stop wasting time or go for the draw. this isn't at-your-throat chess like in a tournament, of course

Obviously if you have a king vs queen and rook and a couple of pawns and pieces then resign but if its not clear cut then watch the techniques and pick up ideas. On the other hand, ark is rated 700 points or so higher than me so you could always listen to him 🙂

You write your posts in the top box!
As for freddie's comment, he's also right. It depends on the strength of your opponent. If you don't think he or she could win that endgame, then don't resign.

Originally posted by RavelloSheesh, don't take it literally. Of course I know that a4 is not good. I was just pointing it out because it is of interest to a chess community to know a wierd fact like that.
Hahahahaaaaaa,do you really believe that a4 is good?
Only because Xanthos somewhere in forums said it has a 100% winning rate out of the grand total of two games.........
No one will ever start with 1.a4.......
