Can't make final (winning) move as game has been frozen for several days for some reason?

If this is the game: https://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=135438664 your opponent is on vacation.

Hi

It might be - link not working for me. Funny that he has chosen to go on vacation one move before check mate and an hour left on the clock!

Does it say when he's coming back from his hols? Should I send a postcard ?

Likely what happened is he knew he was losing so stopped moving. Because he's a premium member, any game that he's close to timing out on puts him on vacation. If you look at the game, it says he has 22 days of vacation left. After that, if he doesn't move, you'll win on time.
