Yes and your rating is 1100

Coincidence?

Your rating seems to have been high-1500s, 1400 and mid 1500s and now 1700.

So in no way did you ask him to resign or say better players would have resigned by now?

How?

I've looked at it with both 5.h8=N and h8=Q and I still can't spot the win.

...that is the question.

1. h3 (white needs to drop a tempo) Qa2 2. h4 Qa1 3. h5 Qa2 4. h6 Qa1 5. h7 Qa2 6. h8=N Qa1 7. Nf7 Qa2 8. Nd6 Qa1 9. Nxb5 Qa2 10. Nd6 Qa1 11. Nxc4 Qa2 12. Na5 Qa1 12. Nxb3#

Black's only piece he can move is the queen. White will queen his pawn and capture at d2 for the mate.

Edit: Whoops, missed the fact that black can recapture. DeepThought's line is probably right.
