Well, it doesn't resign in the first 10 turns no matter what.

Tweaking the point values might be the best "quick fix".

Coming up with a really good resignation algorithm might be tricky,
but I suppose it could tie into more sophisticated goal-setting in
general, perhaps.  The algorithm we have now sometimes errs on the
side of resigning too slowly as well as too quickly.
