as someone fairly new to the game, i've been looking over various games (classic matches & some tournament games here) and the trouble i have is the game ends, and i can't see why! i know this flaw must irritate some of my opponents, since clearly i can't always see when a game is lost. but here's a sample, just a random game from a current tournament, white resigns, when to me it looks as though there still some life in the game - i would have lamely played on. i know this is just one game, but maybe any of your comments might help me when studying other games in the future.
thanks for any help!
