I'm playing in a game right now in a dead drawn position; the game will end in a draw, barring some deliberate blunder. It seems to me that my opponent is playing on simply hoping for a timeout (it's a 1/0 game). Is there anything I can do, or am I stuck playing on for the next 200 moves or so (still plenty of pawn moves that could hypothetically be made)? I'm guessing the answer is play it out... that's gonna suck 😛

You could take the easy way out and resign. Just look at it as a lesson learned.
