In one of my daily games, I'm up a rook, bishop, and several pawns and yet my opponent refuses to resign. He also waits till the last minute possible to make a move.
noob refuses to resign

Well I'd make you wait too, I wouldn't make anyone else wait of course because I'm usually a nice guy but for you I'd make you wait until all my vacation time ran out, and I have alot

I think this is the first time I have ever heard of this happening with an online chess game. Amazing.

Maybe he wants to be stalemated. Why don't you just offer him a draw and stop this nonsense of match? where one wants to win (and expects his opponent to surrender) and the other wants a draw (and wants to fight for it).

It sounds like smart play from your opponent. If he is down on material then winning on time might be his only hope. I admire his resilience.

Happens to me all the time, especially with clear draws. Just want to finish the game and move on to the next, but opponent lagging it. Could be a defense mechanism to defeat?

I know it's frustrating, but it's his right. In my last daily game I had a Q and R vs his B and he played it out to checkmate: I had the game clearly won by move 22 and a week later got checkmate with move 28. I was anxious to see what Stockfish had to say but I played by the rules and waited until I got that checkmate even though there was no way I wasn't going to win. It's my opponent's right and I guess he hoped against hope I'd blunder: otherwise why would he keep playing a game that's no fun anymore?
