Ugh I got told that at my level you should never resign because all of us make such stupid mistakes there's still a chance of a win.

Hard to actually do though when you're down 10+ points and huddled miserably in a corner.

Here's another reason you should never resign: endgames are crazy hard, and not resigning is the only chance you'll ever get to practice them.

@duncesplayed thanks that's a really good point!

I just somehow won an endgame after losing both my castles, thought of this convo.

I once won a game back that was +63 from analysis, to M1.

Just so your best to keep a rook on the board, and walk your king over slyly to the king.
