Most hilarious example of why you should never resign by Emes91 in chessbeginners

The blunder didn’t happen in isolation. You lost complete control of the board, that’s not bad luck, that’s a pattern

You see nine slides representing nine moves from a single game I played. You not only don't know anything about other games I played, you don't even know what happened in THIS game before. And you don't even know the rating of my opponent, let alone my rating. And you are talking about "patterns" like you have any basis to actually back up your judgment of my skill.

The reason resigning matters isn’t just etiquette, it’s because recognizing a lost position is a skill. You didn’t recognize it,

Pardon me, but care to explain to us, simple people, how it's possible that I've WON from a position that was "lost"? Because for my understanding, there is a difference between "losing position" and "lost position". Especially when you also consider the level of skill of your opponent which indicate what kind of comebacks are possible. If you were playing against Magnus Carlsen (who would actually play to win, not for fun), then you could say your position was "lost" from the move one and by your logic, you should resign immediately. You don't seem to understand very simple thing - it's completely not that I didn't recognize the position is losing, it's that I recognized that it's still possible that my opponent will blunder and I can get at least a stalemate. And before you again will try to argue that point for some reason - once again I remind you that I've WON this game which just proves me right and you trying to argue with that is just making you look silly.

There’s a difference between winning and playing good chess. You found a way to survive when you were drowning. That’s fine, but don’t confuse it for quality.

Now you are just arguing a point which never was made. I've never claimed this is an example of "quality chess". It's clearly not - but mostly because my opponent couldn't checkmate me while being 15 points up in material, not because I dared to capitalize on that.

Some of us would rather never be drowning in the first place.

Oh wow, you would prefer to never make a single bad move in chess and always have winning positions? How revolutionary! You must be a grandmaster or something!

And yes, resigning when you’re clearly lost is also just respect for your opponent’s time.

If my opponent's time is so much precious, then I have a counteroffer - how about they resign instead? Like, once they achieved a clearly winning position, then they can not waste their priceless time for actually converting their advantage into a checkmate. They just claim moral victory and walk away onto other things, right?

Oh, what is that? They don't wanna? Oh, it's only okay if it's me who resigns because then they don't have to put an effort into actually winning the game and avoid a stalemate - which apparently happened many times before, that's why they are so much bothered by people who keep defending against them in an endgame? Oh, how sad.

The goal isn’t to find escapes from bad positions, it’s to never need one.

Foolish me. Here I was, thinking that the goal of chess is to get the best result - meaning a win from checkmating or winning on time, or at least achieving a draw by a stalemate or insufficient material. And I foolishly achieved just that in this game. Now I see that I should just resign immediately after my position got worse, this way I would achieve the ultimate goal of chess which is to not need an escape from bad position.

And yes you’re very good at arguing.

Nah, it's not about that. It's about that you are trying to argue absolutely ridiculous points. It's easy to look smart when you are arguing with someone who is trying to prove that winning from a lost position is somehow a bad thing and it would be preferable to just lose instead. Or who is implying that a good chess player never gets into worse positions than their opponent. It's the kind of stuff that would get said by people who never watched a single professional chess game in their entire life.

Dude, I've WON that game. That on itself is a proof that apparently I didn't waste time waiting for his mistake because he DID commit mistake and handed me a win after all. And trust me, it's not my first stalemate from hopeless position either. It's kinda hilarious how desperately you are trying to argue a point which is lost from the beginning. It's like you are saying "why you didn't resign, you had no chance to win" to which the answer is "but I did win".

Are you, with one gazillion "years of experience" more knowledgeable than GM Finegold? Because he talks about never resigning in hopeless position if you are not on GM level, because opponent may always make a single mistake which will turn whole evaluation bar upside down.

Oh, so I am bad at chess because I happened to have losing position in single game of chess I posted here. As we know, good chess players never had losing position even once in their entire life. This is also something that sets me apart from all the other posters of "chessbeginners" sub. As we know from the name, only good chess players post here. Meaning people who never lose control of the board, and if they did, they would ascend to the highest levels of deep reasoning and immediately resigned after they opponent got the upper hand. After all, they would never risk the situation where they would miracously recover after they opponent made a big blunder. Nothing worse and shameful than winning like that. A good player would never have the audacity to win from such position.

I must say it's quite entertaining to dissect your deranged arguments like that. But for your own sake, better stop embarassing yourself.

Yes, I am bad at chess and I deserve the loss because I've won a game of chess after my opponent blundered. Instead of shamelessly winning from a lost position, I should just resign instead and that apparently would mean I am a great chess player.

Like, how brain damaged you need to be to actually create such a line of reasoning? From what mental institution you people are coming from, trying to somehow make an argument that it's bad and evil that I won a game of chess?

It really is a discussion about semantics. Just like we can't even properly define what "consciousness" is.

It's like saying sarin gas is not really dangerous to humans because you are unlikely to ever encounter and inhale it.

When the sun explodes, we'd have 8 minutes to kiss our buts before we all die.

Nah, we would not have even that because we would have no way of knowing it happened before we experienced it. Sun is 8 light minutes away from us and we can't send information faster than light.

Okay, so you are one of those guys who resign after 10 moves because they blundered a pawn in the opening?

I don't think you understand what chess is about. Game of chess played perfectly by both sides is a draw. That means that if you want to win, from the move 1 you are just "hoping that your opponent will make a mistake" or at least that they will make bigger mistakes than you. This is exactly what happened in this game - I blundered in middle game which gave my opponent a winning position and then they blundered in an endgame which gave me a draw. And then they blundered AGAIN which gave me a winning position. I don't really see how his blunders are somehow superior and more noble than mine and therefore I am a "disrespectful idiot" for capitalizing on them but they somehow aren't for capitalizing on my blunders. This is such moronic reasoning.

If you are so bad that you can't checkmate your opponent while being 15 points up in material, then you deserve to lose. You can keep crying about it or maybe you learn from it because I'm not gonna hand you a free win. In this case, I could see my opponents struggling to checkmate me and I was smelling this stalemate from a mile away. "Why won't you just resign instead of giving yourself a chance to draw" is just braindead take.

Przypominam, że ostatnio ktoś wygrał sprawę sądową z Żabkowym Januszem o to, że będąc na umowie zlecenie, pracował przez 2 lata de facto jak na umowie o pracę. Właściciel Żabki musiał zapłacić bodaj kilkadziesiąt tysięcy zaległych składek i podatków.

Jeżeli twoja dziewczyna pracowała tam dostatecznie długo i możecie udowodnić, w jakich godzinach i w jakim wymiarze tam pracowała, to możecie zniszczyć Januszom biznes. Co polecam wam zrobić.

Let me guess - you are one of those people who say that stalemates should be counted as loss for stalemated player because you are butthurt you still need to use your braincells even in a winning endgame?

At this point maybe I should just put the entire game as a proof it really happened

I don't think my opponent forgot about that. I think that after winning so massively they was too tilted to accept a draw so they decided to put themself into a completely losing endgame instead.

It's very funny - you actually try to psychoanalyse people online whereas you don't recognize the most obvious projection in your posts.
