Is a resignation ever considered impolite?
Originally posted by greenpawn34I have on occasion resigned games simply because I got too busy and I found that my addiction to online chess was impacting my life adversely. I hereby apologize to anyone who may have been annoyed by my premature resignations in the past.
Maybe some lads would rather just stop when all hope appears to be gone.
They may have left a message but it got lost when they resigned or they forgot to do so.
I usually send a good game (or an excuse) PM the move before I resign or
mention it in the other game if there is one.
Other may be so disgusted with themselves for playing a silly move ...[text shortened]... e3 which I was looking at on the game screen.
I hit submit and now it all looks bad...very bad.
