resigning

DISCLAIMER:at lower levels you should never resign!!! Ur opponent can stalemate u or blunder their queen after thinking for 10 minutes in otb or online chess if you are a beginner.

A lot of people will say that resigning is honrable and that u should resign when lost, i disagree,
as long as there are lots of pieces on the board u should not resign even if u r down a rook, in speed chess (especaily with no increment) u should not resign if ur oponent has low time.
BUT if there are few pieces on the board and the other player has lots of time (or there is increment of atleast +2), THEN u should resign(since u have no chance whatsoever)

i prabobly wont see a lot of replys since i am going to sleep, sorry

There's always a chance of stalemate :)

That happens to me in a lot of games, actually. I'm losing, and suddenly its a stalemate. Bam!

there's lots of reasons not to surrender, especially with tight time controls.

> I don't think you should resign if you still have chances of counterplay. In my opinion you should only resign if you have no chances of counterplay your position is hopeless, or checkmate is inevitable. Don't lose hope even when a pawn down, especially in fast games, or even a piece down at beginner level.
thats basicly what i tried to say with diffrent words

I have had two good days as regards Stalemates ... One I had 6 the other 3 ... but yes i do resign also
