I only like resigning when I am in an end game, and my opponant is going to ineviditably promote a pawn. Otherwise I like to finish out all my games. Obviously their are some extreme exceptions, but this is the main time that I like to resign.

The main situation for which I resign is when I lose both my rooks and my queen. Because they're the pieces I rely on most.
Won today from a rook down against someone 100 points above me.
Resign? I would resign, but then I couldn't see your winning technique.
My opponent today found out that one should never resign. After all, you always have some winning chance.
I think what your opponent really found was that he needs to do a bit more work on his game. 
My USCF rating went down by 2 because of that game. If I'd won it would have gone up by like 100 
. I feel like an idiot.
Wait a minute, you were White in that thing?! Eek!
