Quite, no reason to rub any success (real or perceived) in my opponent’s face. Let them resign without any pressure or mockery on my part.

Makes sense, when the outcome of the game is already obvious. Also, thank you for liking “An Open Letter to Beginners” above.

gosh, I didn’t think anybody remembered my little letter
I might want to revise it based on further teahcing experience and theory, but I probably also stick to a lot of my old claims, even if less boldly

I am gonna update links tho, since IWTG is dead, and only the newer version exists
