  <p>Stockfish is an engine, not a GUI. Engines never give up they just calculate the best move in any given position. GUIs can be set to give up at a certain point but not engines. You need to find out how to set the options in your GUI.</p>

Answers.Text: Thanks for the answer. Although I do not think it is completely true. In engine vs. engine games the engines do resign I guess (Stockfish vs. Leela Zero). [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAQ9UJ_9lP0)'s an example. I also think that the Stockfish 15 (which I use) is set up this way.

Youtubers like to anthropomorphize engines, what happened there was the old TCEC resign rule (coded into the TCEC gui) that ends the game once both engines say +10 and assigns the victor.

  Stockfish is an engine, not a GUI. Engines never give up they just calculate the best move in any given position. GUIs can be set to give up at a certain point but not engines. You need to find out how to set the options in your GUI.
