Is it better to resign when you have too little time on any chess game (say, for example, you have 3s and your opponent has 15s) and you're in a losing position or is it better just to flag?
if it's no increment go for the flag... I generally go for the flag when the time is below 10 seconds ( or if i know my opponent if slow i go for it anyways). if the material imbalence is under 8 then go ahead. if it's a wild poisition go ahead. you decide basically

Half the time if I try to resign a lost bullet game the time runs out as I mouse over and the buttons switch from "resign" to "new opponent" and I hit that instead and it looks like I have bailed in shame. So let them flag you is OK, just don't do that in longer time formats! In that case "You Resign Now"
Is there a short cut key like Z for zen mode and F for flip board. Does R work for Resign.?

I started with 4 seconds against stockfish 1 minute and drew. 3.5 seconds left
Moral : Don't resign
Also, With the same position plz try, with how much less time can you draw with stockfish lvl 8 .
1 second or 2 seconds

I would try to flag because there is always a chance. Never resign (unless it’s mate in something lol)
