I've had it happen several times lately in 10min games (at the 1100 level) where I find a forced mate in 2, I make the first move, and the opponent just.... does nothing. They don't move a piece, they don't resign, they don't close the app to abandon. Chess.com waits about 3 minutes then starts a 60 second timer. Waiting 4 minutes (when I want to get to my next game) is super annoying. I'm fairly sure these people are doing this as a "tactic" hoping some people aren't willing to wait and just quit the game, sparing these jerks from losing their precious ELO point. To be clear, these are situations where there is absolutely nothing to think about, moves are forced, there is no way they are actually thinking about their moves.
Is there anything I can do about this? Is this something that's worth reporting a person over?
If they do it too often, they get placed into a pool of players that does the same thing.
