You ever notice some players move rate slows down when they are hopelessly lost ?The purpose of this is they are hoping that you die from natural causes before they time out.
Risky stuff.

Someone died at a chessboard onces in a winning situation. I'm not sure what they did about the result. His opponent was prolonging the game and the guy with the winning position died. OTB game.
So if you are the losing fellow, and your opponent dies, and it is your move ,make any legal move then hit the clock.
