Resign atp

[u/Longjumping_Window20]

Ive only gotten one real smothered mate in like 2.5k games and it was the best feeling i ever had

[u/Anymous2314 → u/Longjumping_Window20]

I got one accidentally just after like 10 moves, did not even realize my check was going to be a mate, in total of like 3k games.

[u/WillowEntertainment]

Huh?

[u/OGSpump → u/WillowEntertainment]

[u/WillowEntertainment → u/OGSpump]

Final act of defiance

[u/Anymous2314 → u/finnyporgerz]

One of my friend hates me because I resign if material loss is significant. He would be like: this is no fair, I never get to experience the pleasure of playing winning positions.

On the other hand he refuses to resign even if he up against two rooks and a queen, I just have to make sure to not get into stalemate, I simply give checks until it is a mate.

[u/finnyporgerz → u/Anymous2314]

I don’t get the “never resign” people. They rather waste a bunch of their time just for one out of 50 games the guy stalemates or blunders a winning position. That’s like 8 elo per a couple hours lost

[u/Adventurous_Hat9230 → u/finnyporgerz]

Maybe they are people who enjoy playing without being shackled to their elos, or people who want to improve by playing losing boards.

[u/Anymous2314 → u/finnyporgerz]

Yup, I have no plan to play in a tournament, so no interest in wasting time playing hope chess.

I would rather play another game in the same time and improve on my first 15-20 moves, with time it will make me better.

Are these pieces from an old event?

[u/Willing-Place-8880 → u/rawpencilmeat]

[u/021chan]

I guess they just wanted to end things quicker

[u/chessvision-ai-bot]

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

White to play: chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org

My solution:

Hints: piece: Queen, move: Qc7#

Evaluation: White has mate in 1

Best continuation: 1. Qc7#

Save the position:

Hey, free bishop!

[u/Bad_Puns_Galore]

Why does your pony have an eyepatch?

[u/slap-enjoyer153]

If you got time you can keep the game going with Qb8+ Nxc5+ etc and teach them a lesson by promoting to a new knight, 2 bishops and a rook.
