My opponent didn't play for seven minutes and I am watching the clock!
losers that stop playing when they see they are losing
Sort:
When I'm losing I continue even get a checkmate or a draw.
My startegy is never surrender, nor stop, nor resign.
In my opinion, If I give up on chess, I will be creating a reason for me to give up everything that is hard in life.
That’s deep man
Meh, I'm just happy I win, lol.
I am disapointed by such a end of game too. And it takes all the time you invested into the game to somewhere but the right place ...

Some players get upset when they realize they're losing and might not want to face the reality of the loss.

I understand that, but stalling is irritating. Personally, I think they are hoping you will resign for whatever reason or possibly that your connection may fail. I have noticed that some players who don’t make a move for several minutes have an auto-resign clock, while others do not. Is there an explanation for that. Thanks.

I've have this done to me quite often. I report the player for stalling.

people do this because they constantly have to play against jerks. why don't you try doing something about the jerks instead?

@JBarryChess. I report them as well. I wonder if the reported players get an auto-resign clock afterwards.

People who regularly stall lost games are supposedly put in the isolated pool of players who do the same where they battle it out among each other.

Aka sore losers, bad sports or spoiled brats
come on, I get that it's not the worst thing in the world but to take this "relax, what's the problem?" attitude is being completely obtuse.
It's clearly an inconvenience to anyone that's ever had to suffer it and it's obviously completely against the principals of sporting behavior. If everyone did this it would be a huge problem, putting people off using the site, so considering steps to stop anyone do it is just common sense.
