but sometimes resigning is actually a sign of respect we have towards our opponents.

For me the majority of the time I resign in a losing position (usually because my time is also low and I do not foresee any practical chance of a comeback).

The above is less true, however, as my opponent's rating decreases. I tend to resign less frequently against opponents much lower rated than me.

Or take the following scenario which represents one of the minority occasions where I refused to resign.
