Resign in very win position!!!

Maybe he foresaw a loss many moves deep. The notation for the last move would read "resigns!" (resigns with exclam :-)
Or he was extremely low on time and couldn't possibly mate within the time left?
Another possibility is accidentally clicking the flag button. In which case I would advice everyone to have in their preferences "Confirm Resignation" toggled to Yes.
it's a casual game, so he probably felt there was no value in spending the time converting it out.
lol at #4 - that's the most ironic resignation i've ever seen.
#4 most interesting position ever.. even I was confused about that mate until I played and see its not a mate actually xD
#4 this is awesome :D

I also missed the mate in one for white
I have resigned dozens if not hundreds of times here on lichess just out of the opening ether cause I am bored or I do not care and do not want to play a middle game out (I love my openings).
