A neat little trick you can use against people who won't resign in losing positions

Nah if you have enough time they will know they can't win on time either

They also kind of frustrate me when they keep playing on when they are clearly lost, I'm just returning the favor (we are quite literally doing the same thing, they are wasting my time and I'm wasting theirs). Also when I use this trick I make sure it's pretty clear to both players that I am definitely much better (like not in complicated positions or when they have counterplay) so for number 1 it literally doesn't matter even if they find the best move they will lose anyway and are just wasting time. For number 2, why would they look back through the moves DURING the game? That just wastes both players time, they could resign and then look through it, and if they plan to play on after it, it just drains their clock for something they can just check after the game

You're just wasting your own time, bro. Obviously, if they cared about their own time that much, they would just resign without any extra encouragement from you. If you're so far ahead, instead of waiting, why don't you just make the moves it takes to win? They'll probably resign when you make their position worse, but not when you're just sitting there doing nothing -__-

I often feel like after my opponent makes a pretty bad mistake, they are obviously gonna be frustrated and they won't be thinking entirely logically and will just proceed to play a bunch of moves out of anger in an attempt to try to get a win. Their brain just cools down while waiting and then they realize they are dead lost. Also: playing on and slowly beating them while they are dead lost can take 3-5 minutes depending on when they decide to resign, this can take like 30 seconds to a minute if it does work

19 does the arbiter not do anything??

Lol wait this sounds funny AF. If I ever play in a chess tournament any time soon I'm gonna try this LOL

How? It's within the rules of chess you are allowed to do that

28 it's not allowed, it's stalling. An arbiter in England would warn the player and if they keep doing it then they would give the opponent the win.

29 you can only claim a win if your completely winning and your opponent is stalling. Arbiters won't give a win when they're refusing to resign and playing fast in my experience.

In the first scenario I don't think you can claim the win unless the opponent is taking their time thinking still. Trust me my brother never resigns and gets into these situations ALL the time.

They will unless the opponent is moving immediately. They let it go and tell you to just play the mate in that case.

i have played a lot of people who would just try to win on time and if they are trying to waste my time then i am basically giving them a free win by waiting for 2-3 minutes. also if they are dedicated to wasting your time they usually just make a few moves so you cant abort and then just let their clock run out.

point is, not sure if it’s gonna work because you don’t know what’s behind your opponent’s walls

It seems to work for me like almost every time. I could go back and link some games but that's too much effort

Okay, then

thankx for sharing!

For me I win 100% of games when I am up a piece and my opponent doesn't have a large attack on my king and my opponents know that. For higher players it could be just a pawn or a bit of a positional advantage and for lower players it would probably have to be 0 counterplay too or maybe a queen

So you request good sportsmanship from your opponent, but you are trying to annoy him if he uses his time to think about a problem.

Wasting my time in a completely dead position isn't good sportsmanship, in fact it's even worse because they can just resign at any point to finish the game while I have to slowly run them down

I wont resign because I never give up on my dreams

and at that moment my dream is to win the game

if I cant win

I tie
