For what it's worth this seems to be a problem that happens more to Little
Goliath than with other programs, where if (in the dreaded one computer matches)
if Little Goliath resigns one game, then it will almost automatically resign the
next game without making a move, unfortunatly I don't see a way of turning
Goliath's "resign" off.
