Auto-resign. Rybka periodically polls your games, and the server resigns any that are lost by 3 points or more. Thwarts game-draggers, saves the humiliation of resigning the game yourself.
6 vs 7: I'd thought that 2. Be5 was possible, just adding one to the mate in six. I missed that after 2. ... R8xe5 the R then speeds up the other mating options.
