bad sportmanship

So here I am playing a few 3 day/move games, most of them nice. Now there is that guy who blundered within the first fifteen moves and now stretches it out to 3 days per move literally. Now I know I picked 3 days and should expect it to that but it is obvious he's doing it on purpose because he is losing so badly. Up to that point, it's still legal but now he "paused" our game, using the vacation thing to even stretch it out further.

Has this crap happened before? Im not sure what I am expecting lol I just find this to be very annoying. Also, can you pause each game seperately or is it a "pause all games" type of feature?

And you will get the win.  Chess is a game built on sportsmanship, and patience.  Here is your chance to work on both.

Start a new game, put this one on the backburner, and only focus when it is your turn.

It sounds like your opponent is a jerk. Pure and simple there is no excuse for being so petty over losing an online chess match. That would really annoy me as well but what can you do? JD
