So it is meaningful to both resign and not resign. Okay, I see what you are saying...😕

You need to stop that double negative crap. I've been drinking for 10 hours. Normally, I wouldn't complain but stop it.

It's the principle of it. There are principalities about this. All I want to know is why drag it on? If I can see the mate, he can surely see it. Is this his way of giving back to the community, his community service?
If I was your opponent I'd make my move at the last possible opportunity and also take all your pieces to really piss you off.

Why 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.
