When I play an opponent that seemingly never makes a mistake, I will resign. There's no reason to tie up that slot just to wait for the inevitable. Statistically speaking, you're obviously better off letting your opponent beat you. But sometimes I just want to get that game out of my cue as quick as I can. Oh, and resigning prevents an embarrassing "you lose" notification at a business meeting (yes, that happened to me). Wish they had a "you win" notification. The horns of victory one they're using no just isn't as gratifying as the "you lose" is painful.

Hahahaha, I agree! Definitely been at work and just hear that high pitched "You lose!" come out of my pocket and I just think... Dammit.
