And now he offers a draw!
I am angry!!!!

So premove the mate, unless he has 2 moves available. If not, then you must wait and see what he does. Its the price you pay for playing internet chess.

So if you cant sit and play the game till it finishes, why in the world are you playing standard? Play a faster time control if you want the games to end faster.

That's not the only thing ;)

Troll? I am insulted :(. In any case, I am merely expressing my opinion on what I believe to be a ridiculous philosophy on chess. Is it discourteous for him to sit there a move from mate? Certainly. But it is a right that he can retain, and you can get mad but do nothing about it.
EDIT: I would like to congratulate you on the win, however.

These ********** chess players who just sit there when it's one move from mate and I have to use the restroom and at a library so can't leave computer without logging off. AHHAHIOWHOIHWOIHAEFKH I've been waiting thirteen minutes he still hasn't moved or gone away and my bladder is going to burst!!!
that's an interesting faceoff scenario, congrats on the win though!
Thank you good sir.

Maybe your opponent didn't see the mate or maybe even though he was going to lose he still wanted to learn something from the position. It's happened to me before when someone told me to resign cuz ill be mated in 3 . I didn't see it but I told him I'd like to play it out cuz that's how I learn

If you have agreed to play a standard game with 15+ minutes for both sides, you must always be prepared for the worst (i.e. your opponent decides to use all of his time). It's your fault that you didn't evaluate your situation (i.e. that you might have to leave the computer if the nature calls etc).

The impression I have of public libraries is that, assuming you already look kinda like a bum, you should just piss yourself right there at the seat. No need to risk losing an internet game for something stupid like hygene.
I do look a bit like a bum, perhaps this is a good idea to just piss myself next time a situation such as this arises.
