Smashing the place up.
Korchnoi tends to swear, spit at the opponent, insult them and storm off, which is good too.
Rules of resigning
Sort:
Typical behaviour
When it is your move you can lay the king down and say you resign. You could also, when it is your move, extend your hand and say you resign. I always shake before and after an OTB game as it is chess etiquette.
Most tournaments prefer that you just verbalize your intentions, the action of knocking a king over is more just a player's choice.
You resign by expressing your wish to resign. You can do it verbally or through a number of gestures. Tipping or laying down the king is completely unambiguous. Stopping the clock can mean one of two things - "The game is over" (which in a position in which one side is clearly winning, but there's no mate or stalemate, is the equivalent of "I resign, therefore the game is over") or "I'm going to get the arbiter to solve a rules dispute". Which rarely makes sense in the types of positions in which people tend to resign.
The outstretched hand - I've always shaken it with little thought if I'm winning and never ran into any problems. It's been completely earnest every time. I'm guessing the idiots who try to pull "We drew trololol" are just that rare (and probably get rarer higher up the brackets; I'm 1815 FIDE). I'm not scared of running into one, either; a position in which one side is winning and a position in which a draw offer by the "losing" side is plausible are easy to tell apart for an arbiter.
Just stop your clock and say "I resign" , forget tipping over the King , it's sort of affectatious nowadays.
just shke hands wid d oppnt n verbally convey ur resignation
Most elegent ways of Resiging a game :
1 Hire a pop star and make him sing "I resign"!!
2 Write a formal letter of resignation and present a copy each to the arbiter and the player!
3 Lay on your knees and give your hand and say ' " I humbly choose to
resign" ' REMEMBER : BE SOLEMN!!!
4 Pick the king up, Stuff it in your opponents mouth and moan, " There, YOU HAPPY?!"
5 Bring a loudspeaker and blow these words into your opponents ear," DAMN YOU, I RESIGN!!!"
6 One like Scottrf said. Pretty and neat way of doing it.
7 I would suggest, Resign with STYLE!!!
SATUARY DIRECTIVE: PLEASE PERFORM THE ABOVE STUNTS UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. STUFFING PIECES INSIDE THE MOUTH MAY CAUSE CHOCKING HAZARDS! BLOWING WORDS LIKE HELL FROM A HIGH DECIBEL SPEAKER MAY CAUSE COMA AND MADNESS. FOLLOWING CLAUSE 1-6(EXCEPT 2) MAY MAKE YOU END UP EITHER IN A PRISON OR IN MENTAL ASYLUM!
JOKE ONLY PURPOSE, ALL RIGHTS REST UPON ME!

Ok. I don't know what you guys are talking about.
Offering a draw: You make your move, verbally offer a draw and then hit the clock.
For the next move your opponent can either chose to decline it(by just making a move) or accept it by stopping the clock and offering a handshake.
If there was no offer of draw the move before, you can resign by first stopping the clock and then offering a handshake.
If your opponent offers a handshake without stopping the clock, then what you do is simply stare at the board and do not acknowledge their existance.
I have played two FIDE tournaments, and distinctly remember resigning twice.
Both times I just looked at my opponent offered my hand for a shake and said I resign.
THe one time that an opponent resigned to me, she just announced "I resign". We then shook hands.
All other games went to #. There was no knocking down the king business.

According to an old chess legend I heard:
Back in the early 1900s... over 100 years ago... Ahmed ben Hussan set a world record for resigning by sweeping all the pieces off the board and bashing his opponent over the head with the chess-board. His record of seven times in one tournament has never been broken.

SEVEN TIMES!?
Hello guys, I was wondering if there are any specific rules of resigning.
Dropping the king seems like the most popular way to resign, but I have seen players stopping a clock and sometimes even asking for a handshake.
What is the most official way of resigning? Are there any FIDE or USCF rules about the way of resigning?
