minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoUgh 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.

minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year ago@duncesplayed thanks that’s a really good point! I just somehow won an endgame after losing both my castles, thought of this convo.
