You are american though, I forgive you if you may think I have made numerous spelling mistakes, afterall, americans are hardly the smartest human beings walking the planet these days.
I demand that every one of my opponents to be a man and resign in a lost position, your wasting my time, and more importantly your wasting your own time.
Read it a few times until a light goes on somewhere.
BTW - Whom does the "wasting my time" belong to?
Originally posted by SaviellyME, people should resign and stop wasting my sacred time, instead of playing on.

Everyone understands what you mean. Your English is good enough for that. I suspect that the person who raised the issue would prefer the text to show:
"I demand that every one of my opponents be a man and resign in a lost position. You're wasting my time and, more importantly, you're wasting your own time."
Please take up the issue of pedantry with the complainer. Don't shoot the messenger (me).

Check out hintjul's profile. ("I demand that every one of my opponents to be a man and resign in a lost position, your wasting my time, and more importantly your wasting your own time."
All bad English aside, not everyone agrees that lost positions are acquired within 7 moves.
I would put it like that:
"I demand, that every one of my opponents to be a man and resign in a lost position. Otherwise you ARE wasting my time and more importantly you ARE wasting your own time"
Actually as a German learning English the difference between your (possesive pronoun) and you're (short form of you are) have been explained to me.

I was merely pointing out the fact that players on this site intentionally carry on the game to get on your rack, so to speak, taking on a kids attitude, and from this I get a flurry of insults, how many decent people play chess? give us a break.
I have it on good authority that the moon actually orbits him and not the Earth as was previously thought. For shame Galileo!

I do think while it completely within the agreed rules for a player to not resign in a game in which they have a clearly lost position, I do agree it is kind of lame and waste of time for them not to resign in such a game, unless maybe if they are playing a weaker player in which they might could eek out a stalemate.
But against a careful strong player, time might be better spent starting a new game, studying chess, spending family time, etc. instead of moving a king across the board in a lost game.

That would read better on your profile page pal............have you ever considered a career in print media?
First of all, some players, especially those under 1400 think it is discourteous
to resign or resigning a game is actually a form of sulking, unsportsmanlike behaviour.
The fact that they may be playing on out of respect for you has passed you by.
They want to give you the pleasure of checkmating them.
Secondly, nobody has the right to tell an opponent when they should resign.
Even if Anand was playing a 1100 player at no time during
the game must Anand demand that they resign.
Infact under the FIDE rules Anand could be awarded a loss
for bringing the game into disrepute or ungentlemanly conduct.
Such laws do exist.
And finally... Game 8390035
If you spent less time bemoaning the fact players don't resign
and spent more time actually looking at the game then here...

Black to play his 23rd move.
You would have found the fairly easy forced mate in four (it's all with check)
instead of dragging out the game with 23...Qxd2+
