Annoying, but you can't blame someone for hoping for a mental error on your part causing a stalemate. I think you wasted more time posting about this than it'll take to mate him.
Would You Resign In this Position (It's still going on now)


It's hard to take your complaints seriously when you could have ended the game thirty moves ago (32. Bd3+ Kh6 33. Rh8 mate).

Yes, I now see clearer and appreciate fellow Chess players opinions. I have now won the game on all your good advice and will try not to get myself worked up with such things. I would never have thought that i would have the issue but darn it i do. It is me that must just win at all costs and move on.
Thanks for advice.

Very true

1. I wouldn't resign in this position because there are lots of pieces around king, a simple mistake may end up in a stalemate. I would take my chances..

To answer the actual question posted, I would certainly resign in this position! I think most would. This is why in person chess is better, because you can punch people.

nevertheless it is not allowed to discuss ongoing matches, this might lead to a warning until closure of account, therefore I recommend to cancel this forum.
if someone here gives you a hint what to play and you play it = cheating!

Hi Andrea. As i wrote earlier I have already won the game now after reading the first 2 posts. A great point i hadn't thought of though and i presume it should be ok now.

I have swiftly learnt the folly of my ways and genuinely appreciate the comments.
ok

Do you not realise it's you in the wrong here? Your opponent blundered, so obviously he plays on in case you blunder. You aren't teaching him a lesson in anything other than justifying his decision to play on. Every time you make a sub optimal move, his chance of securing stalemate increases. He isn't wasting anyone's time, you are.
I messaged my opponent who kindly responded -
Cardsgreen:
Unlike me, I'm starting to feel passive aggressive and have reluctantly decided to continue to play hoping that my opponent will realise he's wasting both our times and "do the decent thing." Maybe learning not to waste other peoples time in the future. It's a daily game for goodness sake!!!
Please respond as it will help me to cope with seeing this gentlemans face every day.
1. Would you resign now, before or not at all?
2. Should i stop looking at him shuffling between 2 squares (He's done this for a whole week now) and mate in one and get on with my life?
