In Response To: Surprise Resignation (Bill Riles)

I have found that online at least many people simply resign singles or whatever when they feel like they have no hope whatsoever. Of course, their perception is wrong - and I personally never resign any hopeless position. So long as I can see some 'equity' in my position, then I am damn well playing it out. OTB, I also try to encourage people to play it out - just in case - unless its a tournament that has some money attached.

Having recently got back into 'GridGammon' (GamesGrid), I am seeing this more often. Had a couple last night actually. God bless all these early quitters :)
