I understand that this can be done if the opponent says they don't want autosave or restart, because they don't take them on principle.
The goal of tournaments, as I have always believed and still believe, is to identify the strongest player in the GAME, not based on restarts, surrenders, or anything else.
In addition, the game should be interesting for both sides. Some people like to get out of a difficult situation to feel proud of their victory, some people just want a moderate situation, and some want an easy game, but there should be a game, not just posts about winning on turn 111.
