Subject: Re: Resignation

AbigailII: In tournament chess, one method for punishing an opposing player who refused to resign was as follows.....


You have a king, rook, bishop, and four pawns.  Your opponent has only a king.  He won't resign.  Instead of mating with rook and king, you push all four pawns to promotion (queens).  Now you have four queens, rook, and bishop, and a crowd starts to gather around your table, all snickering about why he hasn't resigned.


Pretty cruel, I suppose, but it sure taught a tough lesson really fast.
