I can only try and deduct what you are trying to say. But I mean, you would like to give in sooner when in an obviously completely lost position, right?

I know how you feel, I've been there as well, but considering your opponent has a win in one or two moves and you want to give in if your opponent really knows what he is doing, the game will end soon, otherwise, it would be awesome if your opponent missed his win chance and you win instead, wouldn't it?

It happened to me many times while playing Oxono.

There was one time I laughed so hard because I could swear I was lost and I wanted to give in but the game was not at 50% yet, then I played randomly, and TADAH! I won! I was like: ???? what ??? My opponent didn't understand as well, then we both started discussing and we both laughed because we both thought I was completely lost.

Most of the time an Oxono game is at 50% or less, it still has a lot to play and lots of ways to win or prevent your opponent from winning, you just have to watch it more closely and come up with a creative solution.
