When to Resign

Sort:
Avatar of Larla

One of my opponents (Scizatchel3) has refused to resign, even after asking, and even though I have a bishop, rook and two queens against his knight.

Anyone any ideas how to deal with this unsporting behavior?

I think he's asking you to prove you can win and not draw. Go ahead and prove it.

Draw? I have two queens!!!

That is not all, I am in the Philipippines, and internet time is expensive for us, yet he takes 10-15 minutes to make a move.

Am I overreacting?

I'm sure he's not aware of the internet time which is costing you lots of money. I wouldn't tell him though since it would be unfare if he was a decent person, but also that he might take more time if he wasn't.

It's possible to draw with two queens. It may even be easier to draw with many and powerful pieces if one gets careless.

Well, he is certainly taking an awful lot of time for me to make the mistake of stalemate. And he already knows it's expensive for me here.

That's just rude. Sorry you have to deal with it.

It might be better to do the moves daily than waste time online waiting for each move.

well, it is a shame to run into peaple like that, but my advise would, if the game is won, but he just wont resign, dont let it bother you, start new games, keep having fun, and ignore his behavior, not worth it

This is a far better idea.I suggest that you should ignore the guy.

Well, i ve run into people like that a good number of time. They will never resign even if the game is as good as lost. You gotta try to checkmate him and pray never to meet such person again. GOODLUCK

How rude! I would mate your opponent as quickly as possible--with your huge material advantage, that should only take a couple moves or so--and then avoid playing him in the future. Life is too short to stress about such things. :)

Surely he is entitled to play on as long as he isn't timed out.
Avatar of Larla
But he is NOT playing, just sitting there in check

If you have that much advantage over him it shouldn't be to much of a problem to checkmate him.  As concerns your expense about the internet, don't wait for him to make a move on the internet.  Just go online when you are notified it is your turn.  If he waits too long he will run out of time and you will win on time.

It is against the rules to discuss a game in progress.  You should only discuss games that have concluded.

This one is not in progress. He just sits there online in check.
Avatar of excalibur8
Still in progress, and he can wait until he's timed out, as per rule, or have I missed something.  Too many barrack- room lawyers here.
