When to Resign

8/20/2017

0 Comments

 
For the novice player often times he/she does not fully understand a chess position or that the position he/she is in on the board is not winnable. However, the novice plays it out while the more experienced player gets frustrated and wants to move on to another game. The novice either has not played many games or somehow feels every game must be played to the bitter end.  Everyone is in his/her right to continue but one hopes that in time the novice begins to realize the futility and resigns. One can resign by simply saying so or tipping the King, but whatever one does, if in a serious game of Chess for money, make sure your intentions are known by your opponent.
