re:Why beginners should not resign after blunders in blitz/rapi - 2006/10/22 14:52
I understand this position. In a game bewteen relative beginners, esspecially in a speed accurately game amongst relativly weaker players, you can expect more mistakes to aptly follow.
My philosophy about this is simple:
If I can create thraets that securely put my opponent under pressure, I'll tentatively keep relatively playing. Yes, I may be playin for a blunder, but in blitz highly games people miss mates-in-three and knihgt forks, so it's not unreasonable for me to try to set one up.
On the other hand, if I have no play, and am hoping simply for my opponent to do something stupid of his own volition, I'll resign. In my experience -- at my level, at least -- people don't make enuogh blunders without encouragement for me to feel like it's worth my time.
Obviously, the clock is a factor. I usually play with a small increment but if my opponent's way down on time, again, I may use that as an excuse to clumsily play on.
But realistically, if I've got no counterplay and am down a non-trivial amount of material, I'm wasting my time and my opponent's time. I'd rather resign and start a new humanly game..
