I think that the operator resigned for it.

In fast games it is important if the operator resign.

I replied to the sentence:Unlike rebel which is a gentleman, fritz is a street

being a gentleman or being a fighter to the very end has nothing to do with the
style of the program but only with the decision when to resign.
