Don't spam. They don't resign because of these reasons: 1. They hope that you don't see checkmate (if there is one). 2. They hope that you make a big mistake (it happens if you are overconfident i won a lot of losing games like that). 3. They are hoping to find a tactical trick. 4. They are hoping for stalemate.
