Suggesting your opponent to resign

    Keywords: Culture & History

Telling your opponent to resign when the time is still not up.


DeathWind: It is very impolite to tell your opponent that he or she should resign, even if you are leading the game by a lot. Such suggestions can trigger anger and can be a blow to the esteem on the player who receives it. I have got people telling me to resign when I was behind by 10 points before. I find it very insulting and intentionally manipulative. It also reflects a deliberate act of arrogance on that suggestor's part.

If you must say point this issue out, discuss this view point with the player gentlemantly after the game is over.
