Yea right, that is not for me to judge. The evidence is really really really poor. It is totally plausible that there are superfast thinkers (at my beginner level) who make any move without thinking at all. Their brain works in such a weird way that when their queen falls after move 7 it goes CLICK and then swallows up all remaining time to evaluate and then with 5 seconds left they finally think: A5!!! I won't even retake the knight that will take the rook next, a random pawn move is much better.

Sorry for jumping to conclusions, my bad.

Oh, now I look out of the window and see the sun shining. If it weren't for you, I'd immediately conclude it must be daytime, but now that you educated me, I know it is not for me to judge.

I'm pretty sure that the game is considered aborted if the player uses more than half of the total game time on one move. This certainly happened to me, though I suppose it may have been a bug.

It was a 30minute game and at around 24minutes the player stopped moving (characteristically after I attained a large advantage) at around the 9 minute mark the game ended, told me I had won and that my opponent had breached the fair play policy.

I'm not sure why this hasn't kicked in in the case of the OP, but it certainly did for my game.

The funny thing is that theme sa very player who started this post has just made the same to me a minute ago http://live.chess.com/simple?v=2014032803#g=764398395 talking about being a hipocrite Embarassed. Is it stalling  the opponent the only thing he's learnt on this 13 months lol Laughing anyway thanks for no triying, more easy points for me Wink.

There is a solution for this.

2.Click on Report Button

3.Select Stalling in Game/Poor Sportsmanship

4.Be specific about the reason of report

5.Thats it submit & he/she/it will get suspended

 

So I had this guy in 30min each game we both played pretty good chess took our time he took his. Last position on board was his King only was remained he had 10 minutes left on clock and I had 17 minutes 35 seconds left on clock. He didn't move for about another 2 minutes so I got suspicious I politely texted him that I have 17 minutes left on clock you have just 8 and you only have your king I have both of my bishops my queen and a rook. There is no way I will make any mistake to let you win I said this to him. Also I said you fought well. But the guy stalled me for the rest of the time. How poor sportsmanship is that? He didnt make a move afterwards just let the clock run out. I reported him.

Its super anoying man, when there are like 2 or three moves or there are a lot of pawns I give the benefit of the doubt, the opponent may be looking for something that may not exist, or something I cant see, Im not a pro after all, but sometimes its the only legal move.

 

like here 2:16 is not that much but still annoying.

I had it premoved and left for the bathroom when there was like a minute left but I have played on lichess a little bit and in similar situations I made the corresponding premove and gave my opponent a lot of extra time so he has no chance but resign or make the move, I would love it if chess.com included the option to give extra time to your opponent, the guy I played against started a game the moment our game ended, so we know they also wait, and just expect it to be more annoying to the opponent.
