I know it's fun to deliver the death blow on your opponent, but this guy took it beyond good sportsmanship and he accidentally let me slip off the hook.
This guy showboated a little too much. This is why I never resign.

Wow
Yeah, he was trying to make the point that you should resign a clearly lost game and screwed up. He should have put you away fast and clean instead of fooling around. Not particularly mature behavior from either of you IMHO.
Love it!!!!
Hahahahahahahahaha. I see what he was doing there and I don't blame him, for you weren't not resigning a totally lost game. Of course you have every right to play on. So he figured fine, he will fool around. However he should have been wary of stalemate threats. He got careless. Enjoy the 'win'. For lets be honest a draw there is definitely a win.
That made me stupider.
Tank you for sharing this game!
I'm glad that nobody got flagged.
Whineee freaking whine!
That's 1 in 100 games.
So for 99% of games your wasting your own time.

The power of whining!
Flagging is so unfair.
And someone else.
Why not put that time into improving at chess by playing other games or reading books? That would effect your rating far more then a few points every few hundred games.

no, completely wrong. your opponent was stupid to mess it up, but the one who acted beyond good sportmanship was definitely you.
I hear the RMS Titanic needs a couple of deckchair shufflers...

I clicked through 3 of your games and you do this all the time. Blunder one piece or even more and then playing the game til mate.
Your opponent probably doesn't even care about the game anymore but you feel the need to post this game on the forum for everyone to see. Disgusting!

so true
I don't know what you guys are having a go at the OP for. ALWAYS PLAY TILL MATE, is what a lot of coaches even tell their students. He has every right to play on for as long as he pleases.

he has the right by the rules of chess, yes, nobody denies that. same as a football team has by the rules of football the right to use reckless fouls on the other team's best players as a way to break up the rhythm of the other team. however, most sensible people would consider this to be very bad sportmanship, and the same is true for playing til mate in a completely lost position when the opponent is not even in time trouble. the point is: not everything that is legal, is also morally justified.
