I came across this chess puzzle
lichess.org/training/37902
and immediately recognized it.
The game is Von Popiel - Marco, Monte Carlo 1902 and it is a classic. Why? Black actually resigned in this position! ^^
Here is a list of 35 examples of people resigning in won positions

I can relate as I tend to resign too early and be sort of emotional about it. When I realize I missed something I sometimes just shake hands and walk away cursing to myself.
