Conditional resignation

Feature idea that I just had for correspondence games.

Conditional premoves are great - you can really speed a game along by plugging in a response for a few ideas which you anticipate your opponent will try.

However, consider this example. Say I make a move which looks OK at first blush. Then I realise it is highly vulnerable to a tactic. If my opponent notices this and exploits it, I want to spare myself the embarrassment and resign instantly. However, if he does not then I will continue as normal.

So what do you think?
