    In slow games (classical, rapid) it's considered disrespectful to keep playing if your position is clearly hopeless, as is perceived as wasting your opponent's time or insulting their ability to play out the winning moves. In fast games (bullet, blitz), anything goes and it's much more common to see games end in a checkmate - or very close to one - as players will often play to the bitter end to maximize the chance of their opponent making a mistake under time pressure, or running out of time completely.
