At the moment I am playing a very frustatingly drawn ending against a guy called red manc, I have a Rook and a King he is left with only a king and he has insisted many times that I cannot win and he keeps offering me draws! Will somebody please help me in publically humiliating this naive dimwit!
Here is the game if you needed confirmation of his stupidity

If you think someone is stupid, show him his ignorance buy checkmating him. It is the best and fastest way.

King and Rook vs King is not a frustrating drawn endgame, it's a very easy to win endgame.

You probably will but it was not the quickest way and there are good reasons why he feels it is worth his while to play on which I will tell you once the game is over.

Seems like you couldn't figure it out in the end.

62. ..Rg6 63. Kh2 Kf3 64. Kh1 Kf2 65. Kh2 Rh6#

EDIT: Oops, didn't see that he had resigned, thought it was an accepted draw. Anyway, the method above would have been slightly quicker.

Supposed he played 65. Kh2 and then followed 65. ... Kf2, 66. Kh1 ... Rg2 stalemate.

The way you were closing in on him gave him some reason to hope that could happen. You had quicker and easier ways of mating that would have shaved a move or 2 off. Remember Rooks work better at a distance.

Got him to conceed his mistake eventually after I informed that it was most definitely mate in 3 from the current position, but it was also a moral victory!

By trying to publicly embarrass your opponent, it was also an immoral victory. 😕
