Vanishing Twin Vanishing Twin presents a new video for Telescope, a song about how we explain our existence to ourselves, whether it be through mythology, science, spirituality, or by looking to the heavens. It was written as a love song in honour of plurality and contrasting convictions, and is set to the swimming simplicity of period organs, guitar, and science fiction synths.

Dear Amy: I am a man who enjoys playing chess.

A couple of days ago, I was playing a game of chess against a woman who put me in very serious trouble from the start. In order to avoid the pain and embarrassment of being checkmated, I tried to resign. People resign in chess to avoid the embarrassing end game. It is the mercy rule of chess.

However, my opponent would not accept my surrender. She wanted to see me squirm. She wanted to checkmate a man.

I felt embarrassed as she was moving closer to the final “mating.” Then she announced that she was going to use her queen to execute the “mating.” She then placed her queen up against my king, smothering my king. In front of several of her girlfriends, she declared, “Checkmate.” This was extremely embarrassing for me.

Chess is the only game that has a special word to announce doom for the defeated person. I conceded defeat to her; again, very embarrassing for me.

Amy, how do you feel about the response of my opponent and her girlfriends? I feel that my opponent should have accepted my intent to resign.

— Totally Embarrassed In Defeat

Dear Totally: Your chess game seemed more sexually violent than “Game of Thrones.” I can understand why you felt so violated.

I shared your question with Daniel Lucas, editor of “Chess Life” magazine (uschess.org), who answers as follows:

“The Russian-born grandmaster Savielly Tartakower wrote, ‘No game was ever won by resigning.’ While it is true you should fight to the bitter end, there can come a point where a game is hopelessly lost, and most players on the winning side find it rude if their opponent continues to play on — resignation is expected.

There is no such thing in chess as ‘not accepting a resignation.’ The next time you are facing a lost game, offer your opponent a firm handshake and say, ‘I resign, good game.’ You can even punctuate this by tipping your king over. If your opponent insists that you play on, it is perfectly acceptable to say, ‘I resigned. The game is over. Congratulations on your win,’ then get up and walk away.

A player should be gracious in victory. A sportsman would not gloat but would respond with, ‘Thank you, good game to you, too,’ and then engage in a friendly post-mortem where the ‘what-ifs’ can be analyzed. This helps turn the game from a pure won/lost equation into a positive learning experience for both players.”
