Относно: Never Say Die!

When to resign & when to play on against greater odds is the eternal dilemma in chess. In this rematch vs bilal (he won the first one), I was considering resigning at about move #25, but decided "what the heck, a few more moves wouldn't hurt. After all, I do have my 2 januses." Well, I'm glad I decided to play on.

Game ID #62195
