You can resign when you're playing against 2500-ranked players and you can't stop mate in 5. Versus players below 2000, never resign even if you see mate in 1, because there's always (and I mean always) a chance they don't see it.
To be fair when you hang a queen without any sort of compensation or positional activity you're just dead lost. Unless and until your opponent somehow loses his brain cells amidst the match or both of you are 1200 rated players or below. Try that against 1400s and he'll likely beat you with a 75 to 85% accuracy.💀
I had a guy offer me a draw one time when I had mate in 1. I didn't see the mate, but I knew I was winning, so didn't accept, and won anyhow a few moves later.
Me too. But I only realized it after going through the review. One move earlier I had a much better evaluation. I felt kind of bad for my opponent and even sent him a message.
@@michaelgraflmusic I didn’t realize he had mate either lol. He “blundered” his queen the move before, but by taking his queen, he had a double knight/ rook check that was mate if he saw the knight move
While I´m occasionally guilty of resigning myself, I wholeheartedly agree with the title. One of the reasons I kinda suck at converting advantageous positions or just playing endgames is because I only play online, and half of my opponents just resign when they get to a worse position, denying me the opportunity to royally screw up and serve them a win on a silver platter
@@ego-saurus my philosophy is only resign when you have nothing left to learn. If you’re a total beginner I have no problem with you playing until checkmate against queen and rook if you learn how the pieces support each other. I’m rusty by now, but I’ve gotten close to an 1800 rating. If you’re a 1600 player I’m going to be really annoyed if you make me play Queen vs. king to its conclusion.
@@kenconnelly773 I'm not talking about rook checkmates only, but about all losing positions with abs(eval) >= 4. I don't care about my opponent. I have no interest or reason to keep playing such thing. Only 2 things can happen: 1) You lose. You've lost your time and self-respect just hoping for the opponent to blunder. 2) Your opponent blunders and loses / makes a draw. But you didn't deserve it. You don't get any satisfaction or time refund. You said something about learning. The point is, while playing without a piece you can only learn how to play without a piece. But, as I noticed earlier, why on earth do you need such skills?
A) if I had ever been rated in the 900s I would swear this was me playing White. I get ahead in material, start playing way too fast and loose. Thanks for the reinforcement of “one step at a time”.

Me who recently graduated from 700 to 1000 Elo, and suddenly NO ONE resigns EVER, even after blundering 15 points in the first 10 moves: Fughk you all for infecting the minds of these imbeciles.
I remember while you were streaming on twitch , you got a bad position from the start against one of the Gms if i am not mistaken , and you got very low and even said once that " its's just over " but then you didn't give up and converted the game to a win , that should be the spirit , even i dont resign until i mate or get mated , thats it , no else no buts :)
Thats how i play rocket league but in chess i just cant handle my own stupidity sometimes. If i hang a queen and 2 more pieces right after imma just call it a day and do something else.
16:42 "You have knight G5 check which guarantees you win a queen." Not terribly easy to spot. I missed it. This situation would make a pretty good chess puzzle.
I never resign for three reasons: 1) if my opponent cannot checkmate me, they do not deserve to win. 2) I'm usually better in the endgame, rather than the mid-game. 3) I dont play longer than 10mins 0 increment games. By the time I'm losing badly, there isnt a lot of time left on the clock. They cab therefore wait another 4 minutes
6:54 reminds me of a TF2 RUclipsr I watch, LazyPurple: "What kind of defense is this!?" "I _am_ the defense!" Great video, sir. Seeing 1000-rated players make the same mistakes I, a 580-on-a-good-day player make, makes me realize this game is quite hard, and a little helpful advice can go a long way.
This sounds more like a never resign in mid-game. If that kind of point difference was in an end-game, you'd need repeated piece blunders to the king, and those are so rare...
Levi you said bishops are better than knights, but the problem is when I have a bishop and my opponent has a knight he wins , and when I have a knight and my opponent has a bishop, then also he wins,why is that so ?
Lately I’ve had games in which I blundered my queen early on and wound up down by 15-20 points only to have the opponent resign as soon as I capture their queen. I had one game in which I was down by 17 and went on the run of my life to end up a few moves from check mate when my opponent complained that they had been beating me by 17 and resigned. I wish I’d taken a screenshot because it felt more satisfying than any checkmate I’ve ever given.
In under 1000 elo chess yes absolutely never resign. There's a good chance they'll absolutely botch a winning position. Above 1000 it stops returning as much though. They've usually got the basic skill of converting a completely winning position by that point. I still play out most games but yeah it's not usually good for much other than a bit of extra practice in defending a position.
Earlier today, I won a game where I was 11 points behind in material because my opponent blundered his queen and then his bishop in back to back moves... at moves 63 and 64.
Another option is resigning on move 2 in an online tournament when you are playing someone you don't want to play against because you think he is a cheater 😅
0:00 You ever have one of those games where you start it and quickly realize you have to go do something? So you tell the opponent that you have to go and you ask for a draw, but they ignore you and play on, trying for a cheap win? I had one of those games yesterday. They forced me to play the game out in the Trader Joe’s parking lot, where I won via timeout. I had just a king and a pawn, while they had a queen and a bunch of pawns. That queen was one move away from taking my last pawn and securing the draw they could’ve had ten minutes earlier, but he had 0.1 seconds on the clock when he was a move away, and that was too late. My point is, if someone tells you early in the game when you don’t have a clear advantage that they need to go, be a good person, don’t get greedy, and take the draw. Edit: the funny thing is, on his final move, it took him half a second to choose between taking my last pawn and leaving a trapped knight (which would’ve been considered insufficient material) or taking the knight and leaving my pawn.
Thank you! This is so important. Resigning is not a good habit - I understand if its completely hopeless situation, you're 18 points down - sure. But in most situations, even if you lose an important piece you can still turn it around. I've had games where I was beaten down for 30 moves and I was down a ton of important, but then my opponent got a bit too aggressive and I managed slowly turn the momentum and win with check mate. It felt amazing, and it was only possible because I refused to give up.
I have been playing chess for a bit and found this video and before I found this video I didn’t realize there was a resign button and I still can’t find it
You are right, yesterday I was in danger of getting mated in 3 or 4 moves but my opponent made a mode that allowed me to mate him in 1 move and I won 😄
I remember being in a match and sorely losing. They had almost all their pieces and I was left with a queen, bishop, and a few pawns... And then they blundered mate in 1. After protecting that one square for like 5 moves. It was brilliant.
My dad taught me chess at five years old. When I was a teenager I would just want to give up when he started winning. He would trade sides of the board with me (i.e. if he was black he would play my side white) and he would still be at me 99% of the time.
OMG! That was hilarious! "Sometimes we fear that which our opponent had never even considered!" -- Nimzowitsch, in "Karlsbad International Chess Tournament 1929"
12:15 Bg4, not Bf5. This simultaneously attacks the white queen *and* the now hanging bishop. White can still play g3 to kick out the queen, but then the queen can just move to h5, not only escaping, but doubling down on the queen threat. Not a full rebound, but definitely what I would do to get myself out of the hole a little bit. Edit: In hindsight, I didn’t see f3
This was the first time you've explained the threat behind considering "Captures" in "Checks/Captures/Attacks" in a way that I was actually able to fully grasp. It's not just about "Can I take a piece and thus get points, lul?" or even "Can I take a piece improving my position?" but there's a clear continuation of: "For all the pieces he could respond with, what will they leave undefended or vulnerable to follow-up attacks?"
I had a lot of moments, when i didn't regret continuing a game. Even 2000s can blunder. I've played a queen endgame down 4 pawns and still managed to clutch a forced repetition() in the over the board tournament. While you are below 1800 do NOT resign, i promise it will pay off. 1800 is a pretty skillful players, so they will know, whether they resign or not. Try not to get frustrated and continue.
Once I was losing by far, the person I was playing against had my Queen, and a lot of other pieces, but eventually I took his Queen, other pieces, then won!

At 10:11 Levy said he hung a knight which isn't true. Black had a pawn to C6 move which would have pawn forked 2 pieces and that pawn was going to be guarded by the queen and the knight for black.
I remember when I was playing a game in my first FIDE rated chess tournament, I was lost and my opponent had a forced mate. I did not resign, and I lost anyway. My 60+ old opponent was trash talking me all that time after I lost the game, he was like-"WHY ARE YOU SO ANNOYING!?YOU DON'T RESIGN AND WANT TO WASTE MY TIME..I THINK YOU ARE NOT MATURE ENOUGH BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST A CHILD" and all that... Conclusion:Well, sometimes you gotta resign.
"My 60+ old opponent was trash talking me all that time after I lost the game" they were the immature player at that table. Sheesh, you'd think their mommy and daddy would've told them not to be a sore winner. Shame they were incapable of ever growing up past a 10 year-old's level of maturity.
Gotham: "these players are writing a story" also Gotham: "Rooks don’t generally have a guard unless they’re connected to something else” meanwhile Gotham: resigns 4 times in his tournament
The most annoying players are the ones that start spamming you with "resign!" the moment you are a couple of pawns or a piece down... That has the opposite effect on me. God forbid I beat them after that on the same game, I will make sure they remember it for a long time. Oh, I will troll them to death, man...
Watched this video and then hung my queen during a game. Decided to see it through but wound up winning via a passed pawn. 1000 elo is wild. Thanks Levi.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never resign
If anything, this should be a lesson to not bully your opponent by promotion until EVERY opposing piece and pawn is off the board. And make sure that stalemate is impossible.
I, on more than one occasion this past month, have gotten flamed for not resigning in a clearly lost position, and after getting mated, been berated for not responding and being "classless" and "disrespectful." When reminding them, they can easily blunder at anytime, they scoff, say they won't, and decline a rematch. Love those people unironically because they always give me a good chuckle.
Sucks to hear the chess community is really this toxic that people would get _THAT_ mad at someone just for continuing to try and not lose the match, you know, like WHAT THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME IS. Glad to hear that their stupidity provides you entertainment, getting laughed at is exactly what losers like that deserve
Was losing a game of duck chess and he was setting up a checkmate with a queen and bishop, moved my king into the path and the queen came in, took the queen with the king and blocked the bishop with the duck. Two moves later he resigned
I'm a 400s player who recently just lost my Queen early whilst facing a 500s player. Since I never resign we played on and around a dozen or so moves later they blundered their own Queen. I then went on to win the game despite being way down on time simply because I was able to promote a Pawn to a Queen and after doing so the opponent resigned.
I feel like you shouldn't resign ONLY if you're under 1700. You never know where the game could take you. It could be a stalemate, win by timeout, anything. I've had a ton of games where i was blurry eyed, and i won, or it was a draw.
Do not resign my bollocks… you resigned 4 times during your last tournament …
yes but thats actually a difference xDD
Pin of bollocks
You can resign when you're playing against 2500-ranked players and you can't stop mate in 5. Versus players below 2000, never resign even if you see mate in 1, because there's always (and I mean always) a chance they don't see it.
Lmaooooo
Omg, John Chess?? Inventor of chess??
The number of games I've won from a totally lost position just because someone resigned after hanging a queen is actually astounding.
Players overestimate the value of the Botez gambit.
Careless stalemate is quite common too.
Yeah brother if you can bring a game back after hanging a queen you're playing sub 1200 level chess
To be fair when you hang a queen without any sort of compensation or positional activity you're just dead lost.
Unless and until your opponent somehow loses his brain cells amidst the match or both of you are 1200 rated players or below.
Try that against 1400s and he'll likely beat you with a 75 to 85% accuracy.💀

Conclusion:Well, sometimes you gotta resign.
Then you realize, they were being immature losing their shit.
I think your opponent just was an a-hole.
Old dude was a jerk. Good for you wasting his time.
"My 60+ old opponent was trash talking me all that time after I lost the game" they were the immature player at that table. Sheesh, you'd think their mommy and daddy would've told them not to be a sore winner. Shame they were incapable of ever growing up past a 10 year-old's level of maturity.
When the opponent has a truly stellar mate, it is considered good manners to run it to the end to show the plan in all its glory.
Gotham: "these players are writing a story"
also Gotham: "Rooks don’t generally have a guard unless they’re connected to something else”
meanwhile Gotham: resigns 4 times in his tournament
Ben Finegold: Aww! Those rooks!
Fight me Levi
The most annoying players are the ones that start spamming you with "resign!" the moment you are a couple of pawns or a piece down... That has the opposite effect on me. God forbid I beat them after that on the same game, I will make sure they remember it for a long time. Oh, I will troll them to death, man...
I never resign.
I just win.
against 200s who have been blindfolded and drugged? Maybe.
I never resign.
I just loose.

Watched this video and then hung my queen during a game. Decided to see it through but wound up winning via a passed pawn. 1000 elo is wild. Thanks Levi.
The day I started watching his videos I improved alot in chess! Thank you!
this guy gonna take every chance he can get to plug his unprincipled “vienna” sideline.
I resigned once and immediately regret when I saw my opponent didn’t take my hanging knight.
My own rule of chess: When I blunder hard I resign immediately to punish my mistake.
Even gms make mistake you don't need to punish it
I once got a -4 position against an FM and resigned as I didn’t see a way to stop his checkmate but there was one. That was sad😢
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never resign
The term resign is not applicable for vishy 😂
this has to be the best ending to a chess game
im just trying to imagine how happy black was when white just hung checkmate in one
Nothing quite like watching the Eval bar go from White with a mate in 2 to Black with a mate in 1.
Remember kids, at the 1000 level there is a really good chance your opponent doesn’t know how to force checkmate. Make them prove they can.
If anything, this should be a lesson to not bully your opponent by promotion until EVERY opposing piece and pawn is off the board. And make sure that stalemate is impossible.
i forgot about resigning
Once my enemy resigned because he blundered a queen but the exact second he resigned I did a missed win and didn't took his queen
"Never resign" Unless we're playing against GMs since they actually know how to play chess somehow. Weird how that works.
I've been on both sides of this: winning a game from -20 and also stalemating a single king when I still had a ton of pieces to play with.
I instantly resign after blundering a piece that i didnt see was a blunder
This is a certified Poland is Not Lost moment.
I, on more than one occasion this past month, have gotten flamed for not resigning in a clearly lost position, and after getting mated, been berated for not responding and being "classless" and "disrespectful." When reminding them, they can easily blunder at anytime, they scoff, say they won't, and decline a rematch. Love those people unironically because they always give me a good chuckle.
Sucks to hear the chess community is really this toxic that people would get _THAT_ mad at someone just for continuing to try and not lose the match, you know, like WHAT THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME IS. Glad to hear that their stupidity provides you entertainment, getting laughed at is exactly what losers like that deserve
Normal people: knock over king when they resign
Me: throws king across board in rage
Was losing a game of duck chess and he was setting up a checkmate with a queen and bishop, moved my king into the path and the queen came in, took the queen with the king and blocked the bishop with the duck. Two moves later he resigned
Brilliant bishop sacrifice at 13:10 hanging it 4 ways with threat of M1
I blundered my queen one time.
I could've resigned. I didn't.
*And then he blundered his queen!*
I'm a 400s player who recently just lost my Queen early whilst facing a 500s player. Since I never resign we played on and around a dozen or so moves later they blundered their own Queen. I then went on to win the game despite being way down on time simply because I was able to promote a Pawn to a Queen and after doing so the opponent resigned.
Can you imagine his face when he found out he managed to get himself checkmated
Pretty sure white was keeping that game alive to promote as many pawns as possible.
Also Levy: "Resign. Just resign. Why hasn't he resigned yet? Just resign, bro."
I feel like you shouldn't resign ONLY if you're under 1700. You never know where the game could take you. It could be a stalemate, win by timeout, anything. I've had a ton of games where i was blurry eyed, and i won, or it was a draw.
I once had an opponent that blundered their queen at move 4 and then resigning. Its not because I took your queen that I took your life
