In a live game, I’d probably stay in the game and hope my opponent blunders a stalemate. With seven days per move and access to an analysis board, though, a blunder seems very unlikely. Frustrating.

I hear what you say, LTM, but surely out of respect and sportsmanship, you wouldn't draw out endlessly the inevitable? And irritate and anger them at the same time?

Yeah I've had plenty of games where I had no movable pieces (even King queen vs king) at 1800+ where I absolutely should lose but my opponent still manages to stalemate me in rapid games.
I think in daily, it would be insane for this possibility but maybe he's hoping you accidentally accept his draw offer or just decide it's not worth it to deal with him. Not a good example of sportsmanship but take it as an opportunity to build mental fortitude, disregard him and focus on chess.
I messed up an initial winning position which became a drawish position. Offered him the draw, he declined fair enough. I clawed it back to another winning position, he offered several draws which I declined. Ended up where we are now, my Queen and King against just his King, he will 100% lose.
BUT, he refuses to resign, won't make a move and is constantly offering me draws!!
He'll have to move eventually, but somehow we're playing a 7 day/move game (don't know how that happened!). At this rate it will be 2024 before the win, all the while receiving draw offers.
I've reported him for stalling, can I do anything else? This guy is sick!
Appreciate any suggestions
