At what point do you resign?

In other words, at what point do you feel like you blundered so bad you're dead sure you're going to lose?

For me it's when I do a trade without considering what my opp. might do several moves after it.
For example, I trade the center pawns and then realize I left my rook exposed or another valuable piece. As I have not fully developed yet I cannot save my knight and 1-2 pawns, so I give up and resign.

Same thing happens when my opp. forks my queen and king, or king and rook.

at online chess , never resign since anything like his device going dead, or no internet or misclicks can happen at any time.

also , no one ever won by resigning..so take any position as a challenge and try to stand as many moves as possible even in OTB chess.

Except for when you want your chess experience to be fun, I guess ;)

When I am in a tedious, losing position, sure, I can hope that my opponent blunders or whatever, and sure, that happens from time to time. And yes, sometimes that is fun and I like doing it (the whole challenge thing, that is). Winning when you're down a Queen can be quite satisfying.

But other times I am not in the mood for that, so why wouldn't I spare myself the pain and resign?

So I guess my answer to the question is: Whenever I do not want to continue playing that specific game of chess.

When their rook gobbling all my pawns and I'm in a dead end position with my rook. Or if they are much higher rated I'm a piece down and then they force queen exchange xxx

When you have no counterplay left

Unfortunately, for too many players here the answer is 'never.' As the janitor explained to Beth Harmon, sometimes resigning is the only thing that shows respect for your opponent and the game.

Okay, it helps me practice my endgame to play until checkmate against a lone king, when I have three pieces and five pawns, but it still feels like I am beiing treated with a lack of respect.

You resign now , I like that Mr Shaibel says that although you shouldn't give up too early xxx here's a game against my friend that beats me 90% of the time , sometimes don't give up xxx

I resign when I lose my most important pieces

Hi everyone, I noticed when I was with a really low ELO (about 250) that whenever my opponents pieces (queen, rook, etc.) were taken, they would instantly resign or at least send a draw request beforehand. Sometimes, you have to stick to it. I was playing a blitz (3 min) game when I lost my queen, but did not resign. I ended up checkmating my opponent in the end with my two handy rooks. Resigning cancels all opportunities for you to ever win a match. As long as you keep your hopes up your opponent might lose on time (if blitz or bullet) or you are able to checkmate them. Sometimes, when I get my king, queen and rook forked up really bad and I'm already down material in a horrible situation, I may choose to resign. Furthermore, resigning won't do you any good. I also resign sometimes when I need to do something. Anyways, it's all up to you to decide when you resign.
