Go up one level in this thread

A lot of interesting points so far!

What's interesting is that on the very amateur level in which I play, I find
most people resign out of frustration and being in an inferior position rather
than a calculated, certain loss.  This seems to go against the essence of idea.

Of course, perhaps the most reasonable point of all is: "The rules allow it."
In all athletic sports this isn't allowed, at least no sports to my knowledge.
