I'm starting to think the average IQ on the Only chess forum is below 75. ๐Ÿ™

Does it matter if he has good chances to win? You haven't won yet, so he's allowed to play on. Just shut your mouth and finish the game. There are so many of these stupid threads asking about resignations. People will resign when they're good and ready, starting another useless thread about it is simply inane. Get over it - he hasn't resigned, he might now, so checkmate him or be quiet.

exactly. plus. no matter how many pieces ahead you are there is always a chance that you blunder and allow stalemate and draw the game instead of a resignation and instant win.

But that means you've been nearly beaten by an incompetent.

If I were down queen and some pawns with only a king left I'd be embarrassed to get into that position against someone who didn't know how to finish it off.

Manners don't matter in the middle of a game of chess. If anything I want my opponent to be mad, unhappy, and unbalanced.

I'd be so much less embarassed to get a draw than a loss.

Adhere to this:

1) not over until it's over

2) your opponent is always better than you.
