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.
Endgames down 10 points of material don't teach you anything.
