Evidently I violated the Good Sportsmanship policy for punishing those who refuse to resign.

Black should have just resigned right here, when I took his pawn with my rook.

Well at the 1500+ level, people who go out of their way to promote to Knights and bishops aren't just going to let a stalemate happen. They aren't going to throw away a won game. It's not like they are promoting to a bishop and knight and risking that they may not be able to do it, they are keeping their main checkmating pieces.
I play a ton of games and I can count on one hand the times it's happened the last six months, but it's happened. It's usually in some new way, I discover a blindspot I had.
It really is a fun challenge, a new skillset. It's not as easy as you'd think to do all of the various steps and also avoid stalemate in tons of different scenarios.

A new skillset is an interesting take on things. Would you prefer if people were to play on promoting to knights in games that you play on in similar situations?

well then what would we call stalling?
delibaratly running out of time, or in dayly tournaments draging out completly decided games when your the last person holding of the round or abandoning games after the oponent makes ther first move or not starting a rematch you wanted yourself
No, that’s sandbagging
If I'm not wrong, sandbagging is rating manipulation, right? Not dragging out games.
Yeah, but some of the stuff he described counts as sandbagging

oh ok
Deliberately running out of time is sandbagging since you are losing that way
Deliberately running out of time is sandbagging, deliberately running out of time in a lost position is stalling.
I think that he was sandbagging
I've ran out of time in winning positions from brain fog/freezing, being unable to decide what move to make. Enough with the sandbagging crap already. I've lost like 300 rating points this year despite trying my best, one mate in 5 I missed is still psychologically nagging.

I was in a hopeless position, but I didn't resign because of STALEMATE. I don't get how you could get mad at someone for not resigning. If they don't resign, checkmate them. If they do, whatever.
But games like this are why I don't resign: Chess: TJCAR vs CoopVegas - 93142944781 - Chess.com

The dont be mad at othe person who promotes to a knight
I'm not. I'm just saying it's weird to be mad at somebody for PLAYING THE GAME.
IF SOMEONE DOES'NT WANT TO RESIGN IN USLESS POSITIONS THEN THERE IS ONLY ONE DECENT WAY TO CONTINUE, PLAY THE BEST MOVES POSSIBLE TO THE GAMES CONCLUSION, PLAYING VERY POOR MOVES TO EXTEND THE GAME IS INSULTING TO THE GAME AND THE CHESS GODS!!
[Do not promote cheating; DS]
it was pretty cool how I broke the system though
how the hell you "punish" them?
