Win or lose, I always seem to enjoy the game more when I'm calling the shots and creating the play. If it's a choice between trying to muster up offensive or defensive resources, offence wins hands down for me every time.

But I hate to win with a massive material advantage, so If I'm up a fair bit, I'll simplify heavily at some expense to myself to get quickly to a won ending, even if I've made things difficult and I require critical accuracy for many moves just to keep the point. Not sure if I do it more for the endgame practice or to torture my opponent for a longer period of time when I feel they should have resigned.

On that note, I'm a resigner. I don't feel the need to have my opponent demonstrate an ability to know how to win the position, nor do I hold out in the hope that they'll return my blunders. When I'm losing to the point that I could win easily, if the roles were reversed, then I cede the point. Never played in a tournament or anything, nor have I ever really cared about online ratings to any great degree. No matter how intensely I've been devoted to it, chess has only ever been a "for fun" thing to me.

Any die-hards here who won't give up the fight for anything less than a forced mate?

Our minds work in similar ways, break the chain of pawns in front of the king and then keep building pressure. Single-minded determination has managed to win me a few games even against opponents rated a lot higher than me.

And yes, I very rarely give up a game unless it's a forced mate in 2 or so.
