People like this annoy me SO MUCH

Okay. I know it's technically not against the rules. It is, in fact, the right of every chess player to play on, no matter how lost their position is. But this one really got on my nerves (especially when, looking back on it, one of my moves was brilliant). Enjoy this game where I was completely winning for almost the whole game, but the actual mate was (for me) really hard to find.

I know, I know, time management is my responsibility. But it just seems a little disrespectful to wait for your opponent to time out when you're so clearly dead lost.

I would love for you to annotate your game pls.

What was the point behind Bh3? I think Bg2 is much better.

In my whole experience, That pawn NEVER fell in my entire life.

Time management is part of the chess skill set. And you have issues here. You had 6:46 left on move 18 (fine) and 3 moves later you are down to 3:43. You can't spend more than 1 minute per move when you have only 10 minutes with no increment. And later the same pattern repeats again and again. Move 39 you had 35 seconds (RED ALERT!), and you spent half of it on one move. Finally, you still had 8 seconds left before the last move, and instead of fighting you gave up and flagged.

Your opponent did nothing wrong. When he lost the rook you were already in deep time trouble. Resigning would have been insane.

Do you expect your opponent to resign when they have you beaten on time? Would you have behaved differently in your opponents position and lost the game?

Bg6 looks nice

that is a fair point, but who said this account is my only source of wisdom tho

time is also a material..

when you use more of your time, you find deeper moves.. but everything costs something

There isn't a Checkmate with pieces you've got. You have to push the a pawn to promotion. It's pretty easy in the end, because the Rook is constrained to the f-file.

If you know it was your bad, why are you annoyed with your opponent? It appears he did almost everything right.

It almost seems like it was your opponent who had the upper hand, you were in a lost position (low on time), yet you did not resign. So his options were checkmate you, hope you resign, or win on time. He wisely chose the last option.

this reminds me my old man, he always says 'you are right it was my bad' to finish an argument but keeps acting like he was right..

Well, it looks like a skill issue lol. Time is a factor so if you use it to find good moves, you are also losing something that is time. I know it's frustrating, i have been there myself but can't help it. Move on

I would have also played on if you ask me as black. You might call me a person with no ethics, and maybe you are right, but a win is a win no matter what especially when it's not against the rules.

Absolutely. We've all been there many, many times. Since this game was a 5 minute game, the importance of time moves WAY up in importance. To me, it makes no sense to complain about the opponent winning on time in a 5 minute game.
