If that's waht makes you happy 😕 I'm sure he won't be bothered, not like he's missing out on lots of rating points for the win.

Why not ask him for feedback as the game progresses? That way you can learn something without resigning and calm troubled waters. I doubt there's any insult intended here.
Originally posted by NordlysWhy drag it on? That's it. Why drag it on? There is no point in that. I told him several times "Good game". When I say that, I know the game is over. So he doesn't end it. What do I learn? Nothing.
Well, if you think there's still something to gain from playing on, why do you complain that your opponent is playing on?
Originally posted by NordlysBut there are principles. Did you miss that?
Did you read my pseudo-quote? Do I have to spell it out even more clearly? You said you don't resign because you wouldn't learn anything if you do. You also said there's nothing to learn from dragging on the game. So you have no reason for playing on.
