I'm confused, black wooped him and he said black should have resigned?

Most players DO NOT resign "after their rook is taken," actually. If they haven't done so already, they just take the other person's rook immediately after their own is taken. It's called a rook trade. Like that we have something called as a queen trade too.

There are also many situations in which there is decent compensation for a lost queen, e.g. rook and minor, or (even better) rook, minor, and pawn. Those players don't usually resign after losing their queen either.

But if you are talking about losing a queen for little or no compensation, then it's just because their idea of sportsmanship is a different one -- it says that to PLAY ON in a hopelessly lost position shows a lack of sportsmanship.

Still, going back in your direction, I think there are some reasonable exceptions to the principle of "just resign already":

(1) Young or inexperienced players should play it out so that they learn how a player, in this case their opponent, can finish off a won game. Besides, inexperienced players can't be given the same credit for "winning a won game" in the way that a GM can be given credit. But see (2) below.

(2) Play the rest of the moves quickly. This way you aren't really wasting much of your opponent's time. 

(3) Championships or other important events: since the outcome of the game is very important, it's OK to play it out. Technically, each player has a right to his/her full clock time anyway, so continuing to fight makes more sense here than it usually does. I won two national scholastic championships from positions that were objectively lost and completely resignable. But in both cases, my opponents missed the win, and I eventually won the game and title.

2...Nf6  is the Petroff Defence

It is actually very sound and solid.

In the mainlines you often do take the e4 pawn at move 3.

I do like playing 3.Nc3 sometimes.

Every once and a while I play the Halloween Gambit.

You lost because you did not consolidate your position.

You went on the offensive with an exposed king in the center.

You did not have any king safety.

Do you think being up 1 knight + 1 rook matters?

Well I am sorry but being up 1 knight + 1 rook does not matter if your being checkmated.

Guys, he is an attention seeking troll. He is black in the game, he gave the wrong score in the diagram (he won), he just likes to bait people into arguing with him.

Here is the game:

It must be from all the heat in Arizona. It has affected his brain.

What a sick guy, I actually believed him. Anyway I need to go now and help upgrade the comp of an Asian girl to windows 10.

<Newengland7> I'm with you. This is injustice of the most blatant type. Nobody shall be permitted to play 2...Nf6 in such positions without due punishment. I mean - doesn't black SEE that he's just hanging that pawn?

To your credit, you did your very best, and I also think that 17...Qxf2 shouldn't count as mate. Mates are illegal when a player is so obviously lost as in this game. It's a joke against the game! 

Besides - mates are overrated. 

No matter what this "system" here does - you are definitely the moral winner of the game.

Yeh perhaps instead of going around and typing on your keayboard about positions and strategy that you don't understand, you go and work on becoming better at chess. Yes, the position is clarly lost, but it is fine to play it out because at low levels you often make mistakes. Second of all he played the petrove defense. Look it up.
