I would have kept playing.
I posted a message about the advantages of resigning lost games but unfortunately I can't find it. I guess I'll have to rewrite the thing and post it tomorrow in the chess forum.

I once blundered my queen in a game against a player whose rating was something like 500 or 600 points lower than mine, and I played on and eventually won the game. But if I blundered my queen in a game against a player closer to my own rating, I would most likely resign - unless we have an interesting ingame discussion we want to continue for a while, or I am in a stubborn mood.

Originally posted by arrakisEven if the game is hopeless, after dropping a piece against a superior player, don't you think that you might learn something by seeing how they go about getting the win? Or perhaps just get some practice defending?
