Players who...

I have been guilty of not resigning games in time, but in the future, I will ask my opponent if they want to continue so I would not hurt a player, especially non-pawn-star, so they could start another game instead!

SORRY!!!!!!!!

PS: I have won a handfull of those "unwinnable games" !!!!!!!!!

also, in another game my opponent resigned on me for no reas ...[text shortened]... I will resign if I dont see any little traps left that I can set for my opponent.

My view is they agreed to play.
A game is complete at checkmate.
Play until there is no more value to you.
There are parameters of time outs.
I think it is taking gamesmanship too far if it turns into bullying.

Ok,but it is.We must play the games to the rules,and not use the chat box to influence.

What about game #143349? Is it not within the reasonable bounds of etiquette to request that the opponent resign? (Not that this serves any practical purpose, just helps out a non-Pawnstar who likes to play as many games as possible 😉.)

Looks to me lke he's got you on the ropes😀

You could always get the star, you know... But you're right of course, your opponent should have resigned quite a while ago.

Whatever ropes he's on are going to decompose if he doesn't move soon 😉 ..maybe that's his intention.
