At what deficit does a comeback become so rare that offering to end the match is kind?

A surrender button that appears too early robs players of comebacks. One that appears too late leaves them in a lost game. Your own match history can say where the line is. This entry shows how to read it from data instead of guessing.

Why this works

Ending a lost match early is a kindness only when hope is truly gone. The evidence is history: among matches that fell this far behind, how many were won in the end. Where that share becomes tiny and the sample is big enough, an offer to stop respects the player's time.

When not to use it

Do not use it where comebacks are the heart of the game, or in team play where giving up lets down others. Offer the choice quietly, never as a forced end. If your data is thin, wait and collect more before you set any number.
