Which brings us very nicely back to my original post.
Some may disagree as to whether
not resigning is mannerly. But
asking your opponent
to resign is discourteous.
And your opponent may see a stalemate possibility, a timeout possibility, or even a win option that
you may
not see.
I'll go on record here as stating that if you suggest that I should resign our game,
I will not. I won't go into slow-play mode, because I personally hate it when they do that (and I get opponents doing that much more often than I'd like), but I will make you
earn the win. Or I might surprise you with a stalemate or even a win of my own. Now wouldn't
that just curl your toes? And isn't
that part of why we play this darned game anyway? The thrill. The excitement. The
OMG where did that come from?
Make a daily choice to stay happy (yes, I know it's not always easy, but nobody told you it would be easy and it makes you much more pleasant to be around) and try to treat others the way
you would prefer to be treated. Not because it might say that in some dusty old book, but because it makes the world a bit easier to live in. 😉
Playin' the game the best I know how; livin' this life the best I see fit.
