Don't know if this counts as a comeback or not but I did sow a few seeds at move 29 with the hope he's double up on B file and reaped the benefit.

Game 2844852

I should never have won- but perseverence sometimes pays off.

Yes, if you are totally in a losing position with no hope, then by all means do the polite thing and resign. But resigning is automatically a loss and I don't like to lose.

Chess is all about exploiting people's mistakes. Just because I made the first mistake doesn't mean I am going to lose, it just means I should lose. If you don't want to put in the ngs early, go for it. I'll take my crazy comeback win over your loss any day of the week.
who says I don't recover from my mistakes? I'm just willing to accept the fact that I lost, get over it, and not make the same mistake in another game.

Noone likes to lose, but you will, get over it.

you don't call being down a Q+N beyond hope?

people WOULD hate a football team if they kept calling it quits, that's why they don't, but I don't have millions of fan endorsed dollars on the line.

to answer your last segment, you are NOT going to get that comeback win often enough (especially when you face stronger players) to make it worth the wasted time.

basically, you're an idiot that wastes the time of others

down Q + K, I would likely quit...or try to force a draw

But being down, as I am now, Q vs. B + 2 Pawns, I've good hope with an ok position

I find if I play on a King down my opponent cannot mate me and the worst I go do is draw by stalemate. Stalemate being a position where the King is not in check and there being no legal moves.

Here's a game I just finished which I am quite proud of (despite blundering twice early on)

Game 2848260

Losing my rook on the third move was hardly inspired, and who knows why I exchanged my knight for a pawn on move 18. But shortly after that I formulated a plan that thankfully paid off.

true, I would play anyone with King odds, you can't lose! (and you never have to worry about being checked either)

Aiko could too, had he not been completely out of form at the time we played it...

This would be a cool format for a tournament--with odds rather than bands. It would be tough to organize though....
