It is not against the rules. After 10 moves each player can spend as much time as they want in each moves. If this was before 10 moves he would have lost due to abandonment.
is this against the rules? running the clock down
Sort:
But it is super annoying and disrespectful to do this as the other player have to wait for the entire time to run out so they can claim the win.

2, it is a rule actually. the amount of moves played has nothing to do with it lol
The site has abandonment rules that prevent using too much time in the first 10 moves and that's what was being referred to.

So this guy blunders his bishop and queen with 4:20 left on the clock of a 5 minute game. He then proceeds to let his clock run down to zero. Is this against the rules?

This is super annoying as well if you're playing a rapid game and you have to wait 10 minutes
yes it is against the rules, yes it is completely pathetic, and yes you should report them.
his time is his time and he can do with it wherever he wants with it -- if wants to make you wait for your point then its his time to waste not yours -- so when you win or are in winning spot a sit back and relax till he runs out of time
show me the rule that states that about time ??????
maybe your right about this time upon reading some hoyes rules about chess i thought abonnement was worse than running the clock out after ten moves to end the game -- maybe iam wrong
If you abandon the game a timer automatically starts, the amount of time given varies from game to game (as an example, rapid is about 40 seconds I believe). When the time runs out, the game is considered abandoned and the person who's still online gets the win. Stalling is worse, because you don't actually leave the game. This forces the opponent to wait for the entire rest of the game ( again using rapid as an example, the rest of the game could be up to 30 minutes depending on time controls) before they actually get the win. This just wastes everybody's time, and is absolutely disrespectful to your opponent.

The section called Long Move Timer
It's not against the rules of chess but it is against chess.com's sportsmanship policy.
