  At human-human games we decide it most times depending on the opponent. I
think, in comp-comp games played automatically, it's a good idea not to resign
anytime, cause programs doesn't know of some "external" factors for the
opponent, such as lack of time, weak playing in the endgame, etc...
  In non-automatic comp-comp games, the operator should decide.
  In comp-human, the operator should decide too.

  José Carlos.
