Surrendering Without Firing a Shot
Compiled by Penguincw
--*--

(currently under construction)

When a player resigns before their opponent responds.

This really shouldn't happen. Sure one may have an obvious blunder that puts you in a resignable position, but why not wait to see what their opponent has to say? Maybe they'll miss it. After all, if one player made an obvious blunder, the other player is just as capable of making one too.
