I think the problem is - if your opponent leads by more than 15 points in the endgame - he would rather avoid any risks and play only the second-best sequences, even if that gives away a few points. Thus, the learning effect is not as high as in close endgames.


Yes, I agree. I just think that it's better to get some practice in than none at all. If I feel that the learning effect is near zero, then it's probably more effective to resign. But if there is some non-zero learning effect, I think it's worth it to play out the game.
