Anybody have advice on my end game? It was close, my opponent played very strong at the end.

I tried for a stalemate for awhile. Based on his response and the board, eventually the game was actually over. And I resigned. The never resign crowd would have played on. Oblivious to the fact that it was over. (Before this move, it was not).

You just made up a crowd that doesn't exist because you can't name a single person that belongs to that crowd.
The never resign crowd doesn't exist because every once in a while someone doesn't resign to you in a game because it very well could be those people do resign other games.
Please learn how research works.

I could prove this wrong with a simple Google search and showing you dozens of articles advising people never to resign. But I know you already know. What I do not know is why you keep saying stuff you know isn't true.

Have you ever played against anyone from said crowd?

Every day, yes. I show them checkmate in chat, I tell them where I am going to move. And they still do not resign.

This is amazing. Rook sacrifice trying for the stalemate. And the engine agrees it's a good move. The engine gets it.

Please give their chess.com user so I can look at how many times said never resign people resign.

fun fact, the only reason the engine says this is a good move because it is a check making the checkmate one move longer.
A mate in 3 turns into a mate in 4 if you randomly sacrifice your last piece to check the king.
Please learn how engines work.

What this implies is that engines do not consider the possibility of human error. And thinking about it, that's right. I was wrong. Thank you.

(See how that works?)

I do see how that works, now give the username of one of the never resign people you play against so often so i can fact check you on the spot.

You see how it works, yet you don't practice it. Or at least, you are not practicing it in this thread. Though that just makes you normal. Few people can admit they are wrong. it's human nature to cling to a position like you do with everything.

Earlier in this thread you said you have played numerous games against people who never resign any game.
I am just asking you for proof of that.
You can proof it by giving their chess.com username.
As soon as you give your chess.com username I'll admit that you are right.
This is how facts works, you should be able to back them up when asked to.
Instead of backing up your facts you chose to act like you are above me for saying something stupid and then admitting that the stupid thing you said was stupid.

jskukms4

Do you know how to use Google? I suggest you Google it. It's a well known strategy. So well known, that even you know it. Why you try to create the appearance I am wrong through these inane socratic questions, when you me and everybody else knows that I'm right, is very confusing.

jskukms4

Well, it's actually not confusing in that I don't understand. I understand very well. Nobody is ever wrong on the internet. Why that is, is the part that confuses me. It's not a show of strength to never back down. It's a show of weakness.

your endgame was not bad, your problems mostly came in the opening and middle game (I gave you a free review of the game)

CRHer700

Those were some of the sickest endings that I have ever seen.

even told him in chat 'h1 checkmate, resign' and he still do not resign.

Oh wow your sportsmanship is beautiful! Stalling for 1 minute to checkmate even though you already said it in chat. Everyone IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE this troll.

What about the sportsmanship of not resigning for one minute, after I showed him the checkmate I was about to deliver?

jskukms4

Classy player. Good sportsmanship. They thought about it for awhile, then realized the game was over, so they resigned.

Two wrongs make a right. Mhm.

I wouldn’t resign if I was the opponent. I’m used to my opponent going up and checkmating. If they take 1 minute to yap in chat I would think that their board is broken and they can’t move.

This is so off topic
