Your Most Frustrating Games Here!

We've all played games vs. opponents who were extremely frustrating to play against, for one reason or another, whether it be taking extremely long even in obvious or forced positions, rude comments in the chat box, etc.  Post those games here!  Sharing can be cathartic.

 

Here's my game to start it all off.  My opponent played on in a hopeless and losing position by taking longer and longer for every move (we were on a 10 day limit, and he only maxed that out in his late game moves).  I countered by programming in the final 10% of the game to checkmate - which he weaseled out of by resigning two moves before the end

59. Kf7 would have checkmated him faster.

What i think is that if you play with 10 day time limit, thats just the risk you have to consider..but yes, ofcourse its frustrating

I thought this was about the game where I was hopelessly a piece down against onosson and managed to win by a trap he fell into -- the trap consisted of allowing him a combinationette to win another pawn. But it gave me winning passed pawns...

Some people need to learn when to resign, if a player beats his opponent into that situation, I highly doubt that player would be blunder into a draw. But then again, who knows?

orejano, you are right.  That would have been better on my part - I still need to work on my endgame!

 

Everyone else, I know he had every right to take his time, and I entered into the 10-day-move voluntarily.  When you're using that time to consider your best move, I have no problem with that.  However, when any move you make can't achieve anything (which was moves 49-59 for him, with a blocked pawn and down a queen) except stalling, then it seems a bit inconsiderate and unsportsmanlike.  

 

That's all.  I don't hold any grudges, and it just took a little longer to win.  No big deal, and I don't want to dwell on this game.  I was hoping others would post some of THEIR games!

And I lost the game in time trouble.
