The problem is they could actually still be thinking, so there is no way of knowing that they are intentionally stalling. Just be patient and take the win.
An opponent with -15 pieces and who's also lower in time who then suddenly stops playing, even though they were inputting moves consistently before that, because now they are suddenly "thinking"? Then inputs the last move 1 or 2 second before the time runs out...
I'm sorry but no. They are just being petty and can't accept defeat like a normal person.
Stalling has got to be the most pathetic and petty thing to do in chess.
You lost, get over your ego and just resign instead of just letting the time run out.
Is that what you do in real live games as well?
Just sit there staring at your opponent until the last second before resigning?
And I still don't understand chess com doesn't do more to punish this behavior.
