When your opponent is dead it is only polite to end the game, usually by resigning no matter how good your position. It is morally indefensible to sit there and win on time before dialing 999 (or 911).

Dialing 999 or 911 would be pretty useless here.

disagree, the game is a draw and thats the end of it, no player is gonna make any stupid moves here, the only pieces to move are the kings, any common sense tells you both players should agree on the draw, its a dead game... i would email admin and get them to end the game

It's already drawn.

Morality is subjective, so you'll have to answer your own question. As a general rule, if you have to ask, you probably already think it is wrong and are seeking some sort of absolution. Either way, playing out a draw is objectively annoying as heck.

In this tournament I finished 9th with 6 wins, the draw shown and 15 defeats.

Just for closure.
