I've been playing a game with a 1816 dude for a week now and he is not accepting an obvious draw just because his rating is higher.We are just moving our kings around for no reason.How pathetic is that?I offered a draw 3 times and he won't accept.What is it with you people above 1800 and you think less of us?You really think you are smarter just because you care more about chess than we do?

Time is a major part of the game of chess. Timing someone out is all part of it. I haven't looked at the game in question.

But I think you should keep your mouth shut and don't say anything you may have to apologise for later.

Originally posted by EmiliosAs the player without the bare K, your opp doesn't have anything to lose by rejecting a draw offer. Time management aside, worst case for him you draw.

So either way he risks nothing by playing it out, while you act like an @ss by begging for the draw and whining about the game in a public forum.
Its a draw...No question about it.
Personally, regardless of the merit of the position, I'd play it out until I either beat you or you forced the draw, even if that meant the 50 move rule. Just for acting like a whiny cry baby about it I'd make you suffer. And enjoy it. And I'd do it regardless of your rating because I'd have nothing to lose there anyway and IMHO you deserve it. But that's just me. 🙂

Is only 1 day per move, no timebank so he could still win on time whereas you cannot so he has nothing to gain just yet agreeing a draw.

Originally posted by EmiliosIts not a rating thing. Its an asking repeatedly and then whining in a public forum about it when its declined thing. As you have the bare K the onus is on you and not your opponent to prove the game drawn. Since even GMs, against other GMs, have played out similar simple endings there is nothing wrong with any opponent, regardless of rating, expecting you to demonstrate that it is drawn and that you know how to draw it. And you demonstrate that on the board, not in a forum.

Even, this one, for example.
Game 4079590 It is always worth testing your opponents defences, no matter how strong he is - after a long hard game you never know if they might crack and blunder in the late stages.
