I recently resigned from a game , which now shows as a loss, because the challenger refused for days to make a move after I had made the second move. I am suspecting that this person has used this method to amass the large number of wins his profile shows.
I think this is lousy sportsmanship and there should be a way to get out of a game without it showing as a loss when the opponent stalls ad infinitum. I have played chess for 65 years, not a beginner, and am disappointed in this action.

B) It was your decision to resign.
C) Anything could have happened to your opponent which meant he couldn't move.
D) If you subscribe, this is no longer a problem as you can have an unlimited number of games in progress.
