it depends on your skill level - if you both suck things are less forfeit-worthy because even if you have a giant advantage you can still fuck up as a poor chess player

if you're actually skilled at chess it's polite to forfeit when you really screw the pooch because it's dull to play things out when it's a foregone conclusion
