Lately played some games here at Lichess, to check if this is different from chess.com. I have been surprised by how many players here just do not Resign, although game is clearly over. Yes - Blitz is error prone but still... Imho, sportsmanship use of Resign shows good chess understanding, and saves time for new or rematch. In chess.com this etiquette is followed a lot better. Makes playing much more enjoyable as you dont need to routine mate with Queen, or waste time first promoting one of your three more pawns than oppononent has. PS - I am not the greatest player, but definitely good enough to give this observation.
agreed
Then why dont you just go back to chess.com/? ......
A player can and should play on as long as he has even the slightest hope to win or draw.
In blitz you can always win on time.
On lichess you do not know how capable your opponent is to convert the win.
Here is a classical game where black blunders a piece, but just plays on:

@burbank123 I just asked him a question. If you think THATS rude, then you will have a very difficult time in your life.
As I'm an average ELO player, it happens so often that opponents (and I) fail to convert a winning board into a checkmate. Like Mr. tpr stated, in blitz it is quite common that you can win despite any blunder as mistakes and blunders are part and parcel to the format. Continuing play is also good practice in recovering from a losing position - I don't believe chess would be very fun if everyone gave up like they do in League of Legends :)
@EvilPyrokar You didn't just ask a question
You were being a jerk and i just told you off m8
