what game on this site features an extraordinary comeback (like, a guy is down by at least a rook (5 pts) and a little more) ???

One of my games I had to claw my way back from an awkward position was this: Game 2696520...the bit where I lost my queen was just irrational panic and I should have simply pushed a pawn instead.

You did have 2 minor pieces for the queen.

why would I want a crazy comeback win? That's just saying that you screwed up big, didn't have the courtesy to resign, then hung on like an idiot praying that your opponent will screw up, and for once your prayer was answered.

in that pessimistic view. A good comeback can also mean that you pull a great series of startegy moves to come from behind to win. Say, being down by a queen + knight + pawn, and managing a comeback.

idiot

if your opponent is winning, and you both play well, your opponent will win.
If he doesn't, it's because he did something (or a series of things) stupid

if you don't have the decency to resign when down a Q+N with no compensation, then you're an idiot who wastes the time of others
