If you're playing a 10min rapid, that means the game can last up to 20min, so you should have made sure you have that much time available. Don't play a chess game if you can't or won't afford the time it takes for both players to exhaust their clock.
Yeah, stalling is annoying, but it's less annoying it you don't obsess over time. Keep an eye on the stalled board just in case the opponent tries to pull a sneaky on you, while you do some analysis or such. It's not like someone's holding a gun to your head and telling you to gormlessly stare at the stalled game until the clock ticks out.
Stalling is annoying and against TOS. If someone's stalling, it's not just "that's life", report them. It's not about not having set aside 20 minutes, it's about having set aside 20 minutes to PLAY CHESS.
I usually play 30 minutes chess in chess.com. Sometimes my opponent starts stalling when they cannot win. Then I just have to wait. Sometimes I don't have time to wait, so I must accept draw. Sometimes I even have to resign even I am winning.
Ah, but thats how stallers win! Don't let them win, physically as well as psychologically. Don't click resign until u lose. If u play 30 min and ur opp starts stalling, get up and have some water and calm down. Wait the time without being angry. Make them lose, by holding out and refusing to give up, as well as staying peacefully all the while. I have had enough of these harrowing experiences in 10 min rapid games, where opponent stalled 5 (!) min before losing due to timeout.
