Geez, I didn't mean to stir up such controversy.

A player once asked me why I resigned the previous game of a match with only two or three moves to go. I said I did it because I was mathematically unable to win. She said, "Oh, ok." Maybe she didn't notice or didn't want to (or couldn't *gasp!!*) figure that out. Point is that there are all kinds of players with all kinds of skills.

Sometimes it's just easier for me to click a few times than think if the game is really over. If my opponent is online and playing quickly too, does it matter? I suppose it would be different if my opponent was taking like 9 days to make every move, but I try to avoid that kind of game.
