The number of games I've won from a totally lost position just because someone resigned after hanging a queen is actually astounding.

Golden rule of chess: never resign when you have a knight

@georgiastamos667 3 years ago

Fun fact; I once had an opponent resign when they had Mate in one lol.

@vandandesai4678 3 years ago

My jaw dropped harder than the Eval bar in the last move. My God what a game

@andykills457 3 years ago

"...you should protect the king,
which white does by promoting and hanging mate in one."
Is one of the funniest things I've heard in quite a while.

gm: resign after losing a pawn
this guy:i have my queen

@majormoron605 3 years ago

While I´m occasionally guilty of resigning myself, I wholeheartedly agree with the title. One of the reasons I kinda suck at converting advantageous positions or just playing endgames is because I only play online, and half of my opponents just resign when they get to a worse position, denying me the opportunity to royally screw up and serve them a win on a silver platter

Never Resign, Unless you're playing against me, then always resign.

The ending was so anticlimactic, i love it.

“Kings can’t touch. Chess isn’t that progressive yet.”

Underrated line

I don't resign. I simply play the French Defense: 1940 variation

@toso7050 3 years ago

I didn't resign; my internet merely disconnected

16:42 "You have knight G5 check which guarantees you win a queen." Not terribly easy to spot. I missed it. This situation would make a pretty good chess puzzle.

@apracity7672 3 years ago

I never resign for three reasons: 1) if my opponent cannot checkmate me, they do not deserve to win. 2) I'm usually better in the endgame, rather than the mid-game. 3) I dont play longer than 10mins 0 increment games. By the time I'm losing badly, there isnt a lot of time left on the clock. They cab therefore wait another 4 minutes

@jameslacy7236 3 years ago

A) if I had ever been rated in the 900s I would swear this was me playing White. I get ahead in material, start playing way too fast and loose. Thanks for the reinforcement of “one step at a time”.

B) “Chess is not that progressive yet” knocked me out of my chair!

Informative and entertaining, this is awesome stuff man. Thanks for helping all of us get better (or at least laugh at being bad). Keep up the great work!
