why people don't resign ?

What @dewebbutler said #18, 100% with that. I would also add that it's annoying on the blitz and bullet tournaments when you're competing for the first position, faced against numer 8877789 with 14 consecutive losses, who takes 25 seconds to make the first move and waits his time out when losing is something that I feel should be done something about, but is sadly one of the drawbacks of anonymous online chess. People tend to be extra sucky, having no repercussions.

#17 @Mahith1708 No He isn't but he's a grandmaster and his opponents aren't going to make stupid mistakes when they are winning, this is about ordinary people who always have a chance to win or draw in a losing position

Well in my case there is sometimes I just did not resign and was able to draw or in some cases win the game. I had blundered my queen but then I decided to play on and somehow won the game as even my opponent blundered the queen. I even have gotten stalemated quite a few times. Well I would say is just dont resign until you have exhausted all the tricks up your sleeve.

At this point I just don't resign to annoy people like you who complain about it

I lost a game when I was winning and had already calculated mate in 10 or something then ... my connection failed. There is a point when you should resign but dont resign too early either sometimes working your way out of a difficult or even losing position still takes some skill and also challenges your opponent to prove that he can actually win that position. One game I was down a queen and 2 pawns for a rook and a knight while several minutes were still on the clock eventually I was able to generate enough counterplay to get an equalish position then he blundered q and game won. When to resign has to be determined by the player and depends on who is playing the position and the clock etc... but there is a time to resign.

When my opponents stall out I usually do tactics or something while I am waiting.

Chess is a fight.

Almost always because they are immature. If I knew nothing about a chess player except for a position that they were in, not even how it got there, and how long they played on for in a losing position I could make a very good guess about their chess intelligence and maturity. The number of moves they drag it out for is directly proportional to their immaturity and inversely proportional to their chess ability. Some people will get offended by that but hey sorry, real world experience has taught me that this is absolutely true. It is what it is.

Because they are jerks.
