Don't resign ever, your opponent could still hang mate.

[@YSFmemories]

@@Sarah-oj7bh this is the most frustrating thing about chess. There's no sportsmanship at all. Literally 50% of my losses come from people who refuse to resign and just keep playing to make me lose on time. Like, does it really feel that good to win because of time? The other 20% are from people learning opening tricks to trap people, because they're too weak to win by actual playing strength. This is seriously turning me off from chess.
