finally!! i totally agree with you tom. don't be a wimp, play it out like a man!! :)

plus there is the off chance that the other guy could mess up

I say even if you are going to lose you should play out the rest and accept your defeat.

If you resign you are basically saying "I give up" and running away with you're tail between your legs in shame, just play it out and take it like a man!

yea, but it makes the other person feel good. Besides, you'll never know its over, until its over

no.really the right way is if you no youre going to lose you resign.
