No matter how strongly you are winning, you can't expect your opponent to give up his right to keep playing to checkmate.
For example, one of the teenagers I coached jumped from about 1000 to 1200 in OTB rating and, facing a very unprepared player in his first tournament, he decided to be a jerk and not checkmate him until he converted every pawn he had into a queen. When he put his opponent into stalemate, you should have seen the deservedly green, sick look on his face.
I'm glad his opponent put up with the humiliation to teach my player a lesson!
lol mick- same thing, more or less, happened to me the other day; i was beat but didnt resign just made a makeshift alamo for my king and a few pawns left over from castling
i didnt immediately realize the stalemate and when i heard the audible "gloopclop" tone i thought it was a checkmate until i saw my rating score increase

I agree with Mickin I did that once, and someone did that to me once. I have beaten many players when I had the disadvantage and they got complacent, and vise versa.

I played a guy once that was in a completely lost position. He didn't take it well and was messing with me by moving once every couple minutes rather than resign. He only had three choices and they were all not good. He was also saying stupid stuff in the chat. Anyway I had plenty of chances to end the game but I messed with him back by prolonging checkmate and it backfired kind of like MickinMD's student. Learned my lesson though. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that, I should know better.

By the beginners or against the beginners. If experienced players fall into stalemate in hopeless position then they better should leave the chess

But I understand we all need time to grow up and learn chess etiquette. Too bad the simple things are not learned 1st.
Yeah I remember when I first started playing internet chess in my late teens I would let my clock run in a lost position and things like that. In my 30's now and the person I am today would never do that. But as you say etiquette and respectfulness is something that is learned.

Sometimes I think it is actually an insult if you resign TOO early. Nobody likes a quitter.
