Resignation in dead lost positions - your thoughts?

@sparowe14 No offense bro, but it's kind of satisfying to see, you had a taste of your own medicine :)

#75 I play ultrabullet to prove I can play fast. I was known as a slow player, thinking half an hour before moving a pawn, someone said and they use to laugh about it. Actually, I wasn't slow all the time. I started to play slow, when someone was beating me all the time.

The first game we played, I had great drawing chances, but then he introduced me the move en passant. Later, after my losing streak, I finally beat him, he made a terrible blunder, didn't expect from him, I asked him: "Why did you do that?" and he was laughing saying: "So you can win". If he made a blunder on purpose or not, I will never know.

Yeah, I had to chuckle at myself.

Maybe players not resigning a dead lost position are actually computer bots playing at some lower level. Computer is usually programed to play until checkmate.

In dead lost game.. i think beginners should play till end.. as it improves their end game.. if you are not beginner then you should resign..

@Barizoff

If that was true then Lichess would be full of players using bots. It isn’t, because the moderators are very efficient at finding them,

Don't make me take out the broom again. If you think someone is cheating report them at lichess.org/report.

@TPP-Social It is not about what I prefer. And your idea of correct and incorrect language is crude at best. What you are conflating is being precise and being pedantic. Not resigning in a lost position and making legal moves can be defined as chess, just as humans can be defined as primates. In practical terms, people who are trying to be precise in their speech try to take into account what others undersatnd by that term.

To me and a lot of others, it does not matter if someone is playing the definition game and determines that moving a lone king arround is the same as playing chess.

@lovlas But what if I report cheaters and no one reads the reports? bc Not_Chinese-3 is still cheating even tough i reported him like 4 days ago.

@Morozov If the insistence on the responsible use of language is no longer a societal obligation, I'm not sure I can call it a society anymore. And yes, humans are primates. Very good. This is also a fact. I'm not trying to discredit your opinion. I never said I condoned the behavior. I'm just saying that seeing something as something it is not, is a delusion. I see it as rude and immature behavior while playing chess. If you want to say that 'a lot of others' share your delusion, the burden of proof is on you for that assertion. I never made any claims beyond my opinions and some comments about logic and the use of language.
