As soon as you know that the game is truly over, just stop playing. Even if you post the game here, people will understand by looking at the ending position that there was no reason to go on. But, yes, not resigning is a design decision that was made very early on in Chessmaster's history, and there was never any compelling reason to change it. Perhaps we could have added a "Personalities Can Resign" option, but it just wasn't a high priority. jm
