Hanging in there is all part of the game. If you haven't checkmated me and I still have moves to make than you can just sit there mister.
Please. don't refuse to play on...

There's a difference between playing it out and just running your clock down or disconnecting.
But you're right, I've decided to play well beyond what I've always considered resignable up until now after a) after Fritz telling me that twice recently I'd resigned positions that I could have drawn or better if I'd looked harder b) playing on anyway only for my opponent to blunder horribly and lose a completely won position.


Please, GIVE UP when you have a completely loosing position, instead of refusing to make another move (with the hope of provoking the opponent to log-off, and hence "winning" the game).
I know what you mean. I love the beach, but I hate the sand.

How can you argue against me? If someone hangs the queen and then refuses to play on ... well, that is idiotic. Play chess, damn it
What about a mate in 1, at which point people I play like to leave. When there is one reply that gives mate, I premove that and go afk too, but usually I can't do that.

All too many players do this. I find it revolting.
If you hang your queen, or even a piece, with no compensation, drop the game immediately.
