Surrendering

The act of a player to abandon a game instance in acknowledgment of being beat.

Many games recognize one player as a winner of a game instance in some way. Those that do naturally give players the goal of being the winner, but can also make players that perceive that they have no chance of winning decide that the best thing they can do is Surrendering and start doing something else.
