 Subject: Resign.. why?
Message:
Hi! I'm following the GK CCLA games and..
In this Gameknot-CCLA match between bishop_vlad (GK) and pawnrider (CCLA), pawnrider resigned:
://gameknot.com/chess.pl?board #383754
Pawnrider was just a knight down.
Am I missing something?

Losing a piece without compensation against a player of bishop_vlad's strength is tantamount to loss of the game. I would certainly have resigned in pawnrider's position.

Instead of "Pawnrider was just a knight down"
A better way to state it was:
"Pawnrider was a whole knight down"
Congrats to bishop_vlad for a well-played game and on achieving a win for GK!

ok, a whole knight down.
I understand that at this level a material disadvantage is fatal.
At my humble level I can be two rooks down and win :)

I was hoping that you'd say something more trenchant. zdrak is ignorant as in 'pig-ignorant'.

hi, i'm a french guy (excuse if my english is a little
bad)
when you lose a piece, you may keep on playing,
hoping your oponent to make the same (or a worse)
mistake.
but i think it's not the goal of a game.
i know that a great champion said that a game is
not lost until the last move, but i consider that
playing until the checkmate, is quite an offense.
when the game is lost, it's lost.
that's my opinion

Message:
if you are down material against a good opponet, playing will only make you more tierd(in otb games) for your next game and is offencive. here on GK I think if you are odwn a peice you should quit against someone higher than you playing on acheives nothing
