This is my favorite "draw from the jaws of defeat".
Game 2645426
I'm particularly proud of the knight sac on move 25 to set up the repetition
Originally posted by Dragon FireVery good point. Only play on if you feel the spirit within you. Playing on when it causes you negative emotion is pointless. However, if your bad emotion will go away in time and you still have fight left in you, wait for it. I've done this on a couple of occasions that resulted, eventually, in wins.
but bear in mind lost games drag you down and make you feel bad. They influence how you play other games. If the game is bleeding you dry and you have no chances resign it. You will feel better for it.
Thank you for posting this thread. I am sick of people getting ahead, and then asking me to resign. I'm not particularly good, but how I am supposed to learn about endgames unless I play a couple. And even though I've never had a huge comeback, there have been times when I was one opponent's mistake from winning - so am I supposed to assume that my opponent is perfect and just resign?
