No way, flush out your headgear, New Guy!
I would order him to resign and also to admit that the sky was blue.
Chess is a type of non-physical war in which the basic aim is to win and not show "mercy."
By accepting the draw, you may have had good intentions, but you were actually teaching the youngster the wrong lesson; everyone must learn how to deal with defeat and disappointment. In addition, losing the game would have taught him a lot more about his play.
No way at all, I would have loved to have been playing him otb and said no let him make his move and play the mate.

Yeh I am with you on that 1 and have sinced played a few games with him, that I have played out and advised him to review the games and learn from his mistakes. See what happened before he lost a piece or was mated, and see what he could have done to prevent it.
yes I would most likely done the same thing,since it was a friendly game,he might learn a bit quicker,and enjoy the game more since you showed him that not everyone is taking this serious ly.

Is this the game under discussion ?
Obviously not, as that game doesn't match the description at all.

No
No the game was against someone else.
Recently I played a friendly live game with a lower rated player. I currently rate 1398, and this player was 922. My opponent had only 1 possible move. To put his Queen infront of his King, then it was Checkmate my next move.
My opponent offered me a draw right at this moment, and I felt bad that I was going to Checkmate a little kid. He had told me he was 12 years old. I accepted the draw anyways but would you have done the same thing?
