I have won games being down -5, and lost games being up +5. I also don't resign when the score trips the wire... it must trip it for multiple consecutive moves to make sure I didn't find a killer move that my opponent didn't see... ie in normal play, the score must be < -9.00 for five moves in a row. Against GM players, I drop this to -5 for 3 moves in a row and on occasion use -3 for 3 moves in a row...
