WHat's the difference?
it's very simple, I'm sure you understand. just please finish the game before discussing it here.
Originally posted by wormwoodI partially agree. I think it's a bit disrespectful to annouce to everyone that your opponent should resign, but he's unlikely to see this message. And there's no rule against commenting on your own games.

he is one of those players that don't resign.. its his choice..
this was my game against him.. Game 1489482
but.. I like when they don't resign.. its fun to continue.. try to see how many of his pieces you can take and how many queens you can promote
edit: at least he is a quick player.. its the ones that drag it out that make a move once every 21 days that drive me nuts.. this user plays the game quickly

I sometimes wonder why people who absolutely know the game is over continue to play the game. I mean, I can understand if their chess coach instructs them to play all their games to the very end for sake of study. However, sometimes I think this is far from the truth for most people. As an example, I would like people to present games to the general publ ...[text shortened]... es or less. Didn't know you couldn't post unfinished games. So, there has been no harm done.
Please understand I've shown you this purely in spite.

Originally posted by zakkwylderWell, I don't think I can complain anymore after seeing this game. Looks like to me it could go on forever. Someone didn't know about stalemate rule. lol

Every time this topic comes up I give the same answer (in fact I'm saving a copy on my computer for the next occasion it comes up). A player should resign when they have nothing to gain from continuing the game. This could be the slight possibility of a draw or learning something by watching a stronger player exploit an advantage. Once that point is reached they should resign.
Of course only the player himself knows when this point is reached. Anyone calling for someone else to resign is stupid as a player is always within their rights to continue playing the game. In fact if someone was to ask me to resign (either through ingame messages or the much more vulgar public thread) I would feel that I had something to gain by taking as much time as possible for each and every move and playing to the bitter end.
I gain the satifaction of frustrating a player who has shown themselves to be completely bereft of class.
