If a better opponent exposed a weakness in how I opened matches, I might prefer to resign early and attempt to improve my openings by playing more games. That assumes time was the limit, however-- if I was limited to a particular number of matches, I agree that I'd probably draw them out a bit more. I think QueensKnight is still right in spirit, though, because an aspect of "sportsmanship" is respecting my opponent's time. | |

| Jan 13, 2021 at 2:48 | comment | added | Esther | I don't think the "Carlsen doesn't blunder" or "Carlsen is expected to leverage his advantage" argument holds up. Carlsen straight-up doesn't lose to players below a certain rank, a similar line of argument would suggest that these lower-ranked players should resign as soon as they sit across the board from him, because "Carlsen is obviously expected to win against", or "Carlsen doesn't lose to" these players. | |
