There are few comparable games or competitions, where the result is inevitable but the game not over yet. The only one I can think of is snooker, where a frame is indeed resigned even though it is always theoretically possible that someone will get snookered ten times in a row...
Anyway, when in Rome, do as the Romans. In chess, resigning is the respectful way, not resigning is saying "I don't think you know how to win this."
Thanks...
Once, my opponent resigned on the second move.
This is what I am speaking about...
