Subject: Re: Bookworms

these are good points,and brings up the issue of resignations.Perhaps with matches between advanced player who use certain forms and strategies...an early resignation may be considered proper.But for an uneducated player like myself,using "homespun"strategies...it can be rather difficult to forsee the end result of a match.Granted....when the more seasoned player has eliminated the majority of the threatening pieces...odds are very much n favor of a win,but having played a great deal under this type of pressure...its entirely possible for a comeback.IMO
