You were asked – TMP link When you play a game that is clearly going downhill and one side is definitely going to lose, do you call the game or do you finish until the last trooper is dead? 54% said "call it"
23% said "call it only if time is up"
8% said "call it only if there is time for another game" |

I would and have "called it"from time to time. I often berate myself for it. |

I've been watching Agadmator's Chess Channel on YouTube for a few weeks.
Let me say right off the bat that I know how to move the pieces. Period. I haven't played in 20 years. He follows the game from the start, and then shows a position in the game with a lot of pieces and says "And in this position, Yuri Andropov conceded."
Huh? Why?
Or "In this position, Kosygin and Reagan agreed to a draw. An amateur would plug on, not knowing that with excellent play, the game was decided.
If you've played wargames long enough, you know what's going to happen. |

Ah, but every so often from the jaws of "certain" defeat a victory is snatched. Roll any thing but a 1…. |
