"Timeout" etiquette

Sort:
peperoniebabie

I recently played a chess game in which I had created a queen/king fork with a knight, while my opponent still had 8 or 9 minutes on the clock. However, my opponent chose to instead wait out the entire time on his clock rather than make another move, forcing me to also wait it out if I actually wanted to actually win the game.

What's the generally accepted way to deal with this kind of behavior? Do you just have to wait them out? Thanks.

Unfortunately, that's all that can be done. : (

Even 12 year olds get to play chess once in a great while!
