One thing I've noticed starting out in the low ranks is that a lot of people don't know how to checkmate and just expect you to resign. I've danced my lone king around the board until the clock ran out a few times because of it. So at low ranks at least, I never resign. There's a pretty good chance I can run out the clock or force a draw.

[@paleb.e.n.9715]

[@buddermonger2000]

6:40 Yeah there's a pretty clear reason for this queen move: white knight had a clear fork on both it and the b file rook within one move so it was preventing that fork and while it means one rook got boxed in, it was either move the queen or that b file rook or blunder a rook.

17:27 Honestly, that KG7 checkmate plan was my exact idea in that position. I did not see the discovered attack on the rook at all. But I definitely wouldn’t have blundered the rook AND the bishop. That is insane. When you lose a rook you didn’t expect to lose why would you go forward with the same plan without reassessing?

I think G3 at 05:45 is to avoid back rank mate, I am 800~ and a lot of times I straight forget backrank mates because I am crushing the opponent on the other side, so I have straight up started pushing a pawn as soon as I castle. Since white pushed G3 right after Castling I think that is the most probable reason. And Yes, I was able to guess that because I make those garbage moves...

Endgame tip for 700s: if you have a rook and they have a rook and pawns, sac your rook for all the pawns. Because your 700 opponent doesn't know how to mate with king and rook, so it's a draw. If they mate you after using some time, report them for cheating, and gain back your elo.
