Never resign! What honourable player would deprive their foe of a well-earned mate? What of endgame practice?! Playing from a losing position is good for you.

I realized that I don't have a lot of experience playing without my queen, because I frequently resign.

Let's do the CBA.

Keep playing:

  • Gain playing-from-a-losing-position XP
  • Gain end-game XP
  • Gain playing-without-a-queen XP
  • Allow your opponent the satisfaction of a mate
  • Bestow honour onto the name of your family

Resign:

  • Save 1 minute of your time
  • Feel like a stupid pansy bitch

Tough choice.
