The best way to make sure your opponent don't resign on you... is to give him / her incentives not to!
Feed them pawns every couple of minutes, then a knight and the other, the bishops, rooks.. queen :)

Until you wake up and realize you are down material in a "would have been even" endgame, draw, and wish you had "made" them either resign or "think really hard about their move while they take a walk"

If you did that to me, I would walk away from the table so you could get your win on time instead.
" [...] If the player whose resignation was refused refuses to accept the refusing player's refusal, the refusee may be (including, but not limited to) refused entry into future FIDE-sponsored events, monetarily sanctioned (for breaking rule 26.01, commonly known as the 'refusing a refuser's refusal rule'), and physically compelled to finish the game by whatever means the Arbiter and/or Tournament Director deem necessary."
That was such a convincing troll answer, well done.

You should always ask your opponent for permission before resigning a game - if your opponent is OK with resigning the game, then you can.
Do I have permission to argue against this statement ? 
I come to these threads for my daily laugh.

Can I offer a draw in 2 minute Blitz when I've got mate in 74, cos it'll take too long to play it out?
Am I the only one who remembers that 2Q once asked basically this exact same question?

I'm surprised you can refuse - or that anyone would refuse a resignation under normal conditions.
In high school, I had a girlfriend but another girl who liked me had me beat in the school chess club championship game. She said I beat her most of the time and it wasn't fair she was winning in the champ game, so she resigned. I refused to accept it but our club sponsor, who wasn't a rated player and knew little about USCF, FIDE, etc. ruled that I had to take the win.

I'm surprised that so many people can't understand satire

Another stupid FIDE rule, but at least with most of them you can at least see the original, semi/mostly-sound reasoning behind it. I don't see any possible reason for this one. I especially love the line about "physically compelled to finish the game by whatever means the Arbiter and/or Tournament Director deem necessary."
Come again? Trying to use this on someone in a real tournament would be justifiable reason for a physical ass-kicking.

I'm pretty sure you can't do it online; once your opponent clicks on resign, it happens

I just read you could refuse an opponent's resignation. Incredible! However the opponnent then says oh you want me to move ... fine ... let me walk away and think really long and hard about my next move ... in the meantime you sit here and watch my clock tick down to zero.
Refusal will get you nothing. Players are allowed to move around, and the opponent will just leave.
I would play on and then crush them, winning by checkmate or my opponent will resign themselves.

Although experienced players may find the OP's question a little strange if not laughable, it does reveal something that we may relate to when we were young and just learning the game. I recall learning about the moves and perhaps thinking back, that the pleasure of chess was to just enjoy moving these little statues around while your 'partner', not your 'opponent', did the same thing in some sort of three dimensional dance. Recalling these very early times, I often thought about what were the aims -things just seemed random. Winning was not the major thing, as there was so much else to think about....
Ah yes, the beaming smiles of the child who in a Freudian moment delivers "checkmate" to his father. Who would deprive that child of such a simple joy?
Seriously though, I've felt a bit peeved watching the occasional game, sometimes at the top level, where the losing player resigns and deprives the winner-by-resignation of a particularly beautiful finish. Doesn't happen very often but in those instances I can sympathize with the sentiments of the OP.

That's amazing. I would let my time run down if someone refuses my resignation lol.
