Hi everyone. I'm pretty new to this site, played only a dozen of games, or so, and did not play online against other players before (only against computers).
I'd like to hear the opinion on following topic that I found strange, at least in my opinion, when playing here.
I have situations when my opponents resigned the game, to my surprise, I did not expect it. I guess they resigned because I had pieces won or my position was stronger. However, I don't think that I would manage to check-mate within remaining time.
The aim of the match is, of course, to win. But me or my opponent needs to win within predefined time limit. We choose the time limit.
What I want to say is that I would not resign the game even if my oponent had a Queen and Rook over me, if I believed he/she would not manage to check-mate within time limit.
Is it unethical if I fight untill the last move, do I miss something there? When you resign the game - when your opponent got pieces won regardless of remaining time, or when you are certain you will get check-mated within seconds?
