====Resigning====
Either player may ''resign'' at any time, conceding the game to the opponent.{{sfn|FIDE|2023|loc=article 5.1.2}} To indicate resignation, the player may say "I resign". Tipping over the king also indicates resignation, but it should be distinguished from accidentally knocking the king over. Stopping both clocks is not an indication of resigning, since clocks can be stopped to call the arbiter. An offer of a handshake is sometimes used, but it could be mistaken for a draw offer.{{sfn|Just|2019|loc=chapter 1, section 13B}}

Under FIDE Laws, a resignation by one player results in a draw if their opponent has no way to checkmate them via any series of legal moves, or a loss by that player otherwise.{{sfn|FIDE|2023|loc=article 5.1.2}}
