Lose vs Give Up

[TheGreatErenan]

If things are relatively even but I have a strong feeling that I'm going to lose, I will continue playing.

If things are really, really obviously teetering in my opponent's favor, I will usually still make a last stand kind of a thing and let my opponent complete the win.

However, if it's one of those situations where I have to either:

a) Press give up
b) Make a last stand even though it's clear I'm going to lose, but it'll still take my opponent several turns to do it, and it's more annoying to keep playing than to give up

Then I will give up.
