Deliberately not drawing under time pressure

Hello,

I have a question about the fair play policy. I haven't encountered such kind of behaviour often, but after one such game, I decided to start this topic. Basically, there are people who will not agree to a draw in absolutely drawn positions such as R+K v R+K or Q+K v Q+K just because they have more time, simply because they have more time. Such "strategy" does have merit, because if the opponent has less than 100 seconds on the clock, they have less than 2 seconds per move before the 50 move rule kicks in. Under such pressure, it's easy to blunder and lose your piece and the game. I am not even talking about the situations where you have about 20 seconds on the clock and you simply lose by time. I wonder what the fair play policy has to say about such behaviour. Is it reportable, or completely legit? (I'm never doing that, but if it's legit, I might as well take advantage of it)

Hi Matthias:

That's a bummer. Fortunately, there is a fix - play games with increment timing!

Yes, but its kind of sad when you have to play with increment instead of just drawing. :)

With Q + K vs Q + K why wouldn't you just make your king dance around your queen? Premoves are perfectly fine here because the opponents king can never attack a queen.
