The only reason it happens is because of anonymity. Their is a reason you dont see the things you see online, in OTB play.
Why do people stall lost games
Sort:
I think it's probably almost always to spite the player who's winning.
They're too busy crying.
Yeah, dealing with one of these now with a daily game. We had a good game for a while there, but now he is just delaying the inevitable. He only has a king left, I've got a rook, pawns (one soon to be a queen), and a knight. He probably should have resigned two days ago.

Or is here some sense of pride involved in refusing to resign? I genuinely want to know what the thoughts are for the players who do this.
Anyways, I usually report people who abandon matches like that, because it’s hella annoying and a waste of my time for them to leave without resigning and making me wait out their timer, and Chess.com seems to agree with me, I often get messages informing me that they got sanctioned.
