I am playing an online chess game with an opponent in which I am 2 moves away from winning by checkmate. My opponent will not resign or move. Instead of my winning by time control the clock doesn't run out. The time goes down and down.... and then the time goes UP; then down,down....then UPSurprised.  How does this game ever finish ?   HELP !!!

I guess your opponent is a premium member, they get auto-vacation if they are about to time out on a game. When he runs out of vacation, he will lose and cry for his mommy.

This could be one of the few ever adjudicated.
