Resigning. Not Soon Enough.

X_Voltz

Hi, everyone. At what point do you start getting annoyed when your opponent hasn't resigned, when it is clearly a lost cause for them? I don't want to be one of "those guys". I actually think I may resign TOO soon on occasion. Thanks for yall's opinions.

They can play as long as they want. There is no rule that they have to reign. Don't get mad, just finish the game.

Kind of what I thought, too. If they want to get checkmated...then checkmate them.

They (typically a bot) don't annoy me. Good practice for me making checkmate sooner. Analysis sometimes says "Lost forced checkmate sequence", or I take 9 moves to mate when 5 was possible.
