I know this has been a controversial issue recently, but I was curious to see some games where a losing side refuses to resign and eventually achieves a stalemate or draw for whatever reason ...
Obviously, I think there is nothing wrong with hanging in a game to achieve stalemate or a draw due to indefinite check, etc. ...
However, I must admit that I have been VERY close to resigning in numerous games but I have held on to see if my opponent accidentally blunders in his/her excitement to execute checkmate ...
Again, if anyone has any games where they salvaged a stalemate or a draw by hanging in there, please post those games! 🙂
Again...I know games should be played out if one player wants to, but I was hoping for examples...currently I am playing a game in which I have nothing but a king and I am praying my oppenent screws up and stalemates me...but I was hoping other people also had game examples...mainly for evidence and for encouragement...

Ok, in your game where u only have a King, it is possible that it end in stalemate, but that is entirely up to your opponent. Only he can make it happen, sorry 🙁

I knew from the knight fork on my king and rook that I couldn't win, but I hung in there hoping he/she wouldn't win, either...
Again, please post any games in which a losing player achieves stalemate or a draw or ALMOST achieves a stalemate or a draw but inevitably loses anyway...

no, it's black's fault (but meh, gj finding that and making him look like an idiot...i guess...)
by playing on in the hopelessly lost position, you're hoping that your opponent will play stupid moves, in other words, you're playing your opponent instead of the board (imo) Am I the only one who finds this to be bad chess psyche?

Yes - why quit? Doesn't it really tick you off when your opponent refuses to quit? Exactly. Who wouldn't take the chance to throw an opponent off guard?
