Move 58
What's good etiquette here? Resign now when they have played the pretty move, or play 58...Nxh5 (or, more banally, 58...Kg4) and allow the checkmate?
I have a slight preference for 58...Nxh5 because the final checkmate with the lone bishop is quite attractive, but I find 58...Resigns very acceptable too. |

I say it does not matter much, but let White have the pleasure of a mate by us playing Nxh5. :smile:

I would much prefer to actually mate someone than have them resign at this point.
I would agree Nxh5 is probably the nicer move. |

Nxh5 is polite and we are all gentlemen on this team.
