All those who think it is ok to not resign when you're down 3 rooks and 5 queens owning only a king are morons!!
Stop defending those idiots!!
It is utter stupidity to say they have the right to wait until mate...what a waste of time on a site like this!!!
MORONS!

Originally posted by metal manSpoken like a true patzer. One of the signs that a player is getting better is that is that he's learning when he should resign and when he should play on. Take a survey of the players who say they never resing, EVER. Guaranteed nearly all of them aren't even above 1200.

Originally posted by Natural ScienceUmmm, I'm not that great a player but if you look at my graph you know I am not a rookie. And I know when to resign. But I usually don't. There's lots of reasons for it. Doesn't mean I'm a moron. They are my games and I am going to play them how I want to play them. Anybody who doesn't like it doesn't have to play me.

Originally posted by Natural Sciencewell I don't know about that. That player who is winning may make a bad mistake or even stale mate. I have played people who were up a queen

Originally posted by metal manRight,a nd what was his rating? That's my point. The better you get, and the better the competition you face, the more you start realizing that hoping they'll bluder into a stalemate is like hoping a Little Leaguer could get a hit off Roger Clemens. Especially in correspondnece chess. If I'm playing someone with a rating of 1600 or so, I will take it for granted they know how to mate me with just a queen, and resign.

Originally posted by Natural ScienceHis Rating was in the 1300's of cource I still knew I could beat him because I'm a little bit better player then he is if the players rating were 2,300 and above I would resign but only to masters and above you may think a moron well I am not I study and play the game a lot.

How did someone who you were "a little bit better" than get not just a full queen, but also a rook, up on you? Unless you saced them for some forcing line, of course, in which case I bow down before you...

If someone wants to play out a lost game hoping to learn something I don't have a problem with that. Personally though, I think their time would be better spent figuring out how they got into a lost game in the first place. However, has anyone else ever been in a game against someone you know has stopped trying, but never the less insists on playing through to checkmate? That, I think, is different.

A player has the right to choose the moment he wants to resign. His opponent can claim or suggest a draw but never a win. Just exercise your patience when you feel annoyed with it. It is bad etiquette to start wining about it.
A way to make the game a bit more interesting for yourself is to estimate in how many moves you will mate your opponent. If you do that, your feelings can make a turn of 180 degrees. You will be disappointed when your opponent resigns before you have given the final blow.
