I have told this guy from several moves back the position was drawn but evidently he's too stupid to calculate a simple line or he's too stubborn. I have no time to play ring around the rosies or perpetual check with queens. He played a good game against a stronger opponent but I saved the game and he don't want to let it go. He must think because he queens first he is winning. He doesn't realize the game is drawn.

 

Thank you.

He should have resigned after 1. b4.

He must think he's Bent Larsen.

I should have likewise resigned a little later. I played an atrocious game with black.

Hopefully not one of those threads... ;)

It's a 14 day game lol

I guess you won't play those again.

I agree with pfren.

Besides how else is he really going to learn unless he plays it out?

I remember / learn by doing, not by being told.

It's his right to keep on playing... isn't it? After all, he missed half a dozen trivial wins in that game...

I played a horrendous game. One of the reasons I want it to just end already.

This game could play out for 2 more years

Please, chess staff?

It's clearly drawn. He wants to bore me into resignation. Please force the draw. If I were playing in a tournament I could go get the tournament director and he/she would declare a draw. I don't have that luxury here. But I still think people who do this are wrong. It's inconsiderate and rude.

Bronco

Yes I did . Maybe the kid never gets close to and endgame. Most don't even get that far when they're low rated like him ( and me too :). )

If op wasn't worried about points he should just resign.

Bronco

To not waste your time. :p

What do you think there is to potentially learn from a K+Q vs K+Q pawnless endgame?

you may understand this but lower rated players don't.

Bronco

Thank you KCO. That's what I'm trying to say.

That's not an actual "draw", just a "theoretical" one.

Right now you appear to be losing. Why? Because you're losing control of yourself. You feel entitled to a draw and the terms you agreed to at the start (14 days) is no longer right for you... so you beg and plead to null the agreement.

It's almost laughable.

If I were playing you, id make you wait the whole month before you can claim a 3 move or insufficient material just to see if you get pissed off and resign, especially after seeing this thread.

Sure, they probably should agree to a draw here. But, at the same time, you shouldnt be asking for admins to null a game that you're currently playing because your opponent chooses to not resign and wishes to take all the time allowed to make their moves.

Really lame on both your parts.

What's next? An "I'm up 3 queens and my opponent only has a king can an admin please win me the game because we're playing 1 year per move and he wont resign"

But I guess not everyone sees it that way.

Exactly, because you're logical. The poster above you completely misses my point. This has nothing to do with entitlement. Granted, we are both rated pretty low, but in my humble opinion >1200 players should understand basic theoretical draws.

Actually, a tournament director can force resignation. However queens against a lone king is at the very most five or six moves from mate, so it wouldn't be necessary. Now, if a person had a rook and king against a king in the middle of the board, it takes a good amount of moves to drive the king back. If an opponent refused to resign and was taking as long as possible, I can see where forcing resignation is justificable, provided the winning player can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the tournament director that he knows the winning formula.
