I played Game 3597278 a while ago, and have been wondering why he resigned. Perhaps there is a simple answer and im just too stupid to figure it out, but I can´t. any ideas?

Black is winning the game. I've been browsing his games, and he has resigned a few games in which he had a decisive advantage.

Maybe he doesn't like to play on, when he has already won, and his opponent doesn't resign? Or somebody else was on his account? Or he wanted to reduce his game load?

Have you asked him why he resigned?

I suspect your opponent became nervous because the game was virtually won after 15 moves but kept dragging on, and the game stood in the way of other games, being limited to 6 parallel games.

Maybe, but he could have won in another 10-15 moves.

I doubt it. Probably 25 - 30 would be needed to checkmate.

In your level maybe. 😉

As white or as black? A medium black player against a strong white defender might even need 35 or more 🙂

Doesn't Rd8 (next black move virtually regardless of what white plays) win fairly simply for black.

Black won the game 20 moves ago. After e.g. h2 by white, Rd8 is almost as good as Rc2 or another 10 or so candidate moves. They all would ultimately lead to checkmate .... in 25 more moves or so😉

Yes, after that there is no stoping that pawn.

Instead of guessing, why don't you just ask him?

I asked him, and he said he was on vacation and thought it would be rude to make his opponents wait, so he resigned all his games.🙄
