Resign Right Before The Dame Are Filled
   

To continue from ContinueWhileDozensOfPointsBehind, there are those that play a game out to the end, knowing they are behind, and when they see that their opponent makes no mistake up to the dame, resign. Bad bad habit.

--Dieter


In my opinion, this shows lack of respect for opponent: You have forced opponent to take the trouble of going on while the game was already decided, but are unwilling to take the trouble of counting and the humiliation of the large difference yourself.

-- Andre Engels


What if the dame involve an undetermined seki, which is the difference between a close game and a large loss, the possible capture of 3 large teams of stones about the seki, in a game that was just a social game for fun? Was it then disrespectfull and rude not to resign? --TB I guess one should never play for fun?
