I fired my car collection detailer today for leaving the smallest water stain on my 1949 Bentley. When he began to sob about his pregnant wife and four children, I felt a delightful sense of power, control and satisfaction.
I still fired the chap.
Help me! He won't resign

Yeah I agree....you should have no problem beating him. You are frustrated because you don't know how to end the game.
agree to gateman234. good on him not resigning.
believe it you'll learn a valuable lesson. and I guess you might send your gratitude to westre one day for not resigning in that game
Quit your crying. I say if you won prove it. Thats what checkmate is about. If you can't checkmate him you haven't won. Why do all you babies insist on someone resigning just because your too lazy or don't have the skills for checkmate.
First Gentleman s rule...don t suggest resignation to your opponent.
-Quoted from Smartattack-
You're right... I remember doing this once to someone I played a long time ago. Although I do not remember the exact phrasing, I do remember that it felt very awkward after it came out; and I still regret it. It was not polite at all! At least I learned from my mistake.
You know i have this funny habit, that when my opponent doesn't want to resign inspite of my big advantage, i just let him enjoy the game. I will not mate him and instead try to queen all my pawns if i still have until he comes into his senses. Chess is full of fun!

I'm worse... I start underpromoting <(x.X)> ... !!!
GM Atalik also has a sense of humor about such things:
While I sometimes get frustrated with others not resigning in a clear loss situation, they still have every right to continue to game's end (as others have noted). With your current set up, mate should not be hard. If you don't know how to do it, this is good practice.
Checkmate his ass.
I suppose if this were the Superbowl and the score was 31 to 0 at half time, the losing team shouldn't even come back on the field for the second half. Football and chess have some similarities, you have the right to make your opponent play his best game. Also I have seen some incredible comebacks in football and have won some games in chess where my opponent thought he should win. In fact one of the games that I am the most proud of is one where my opponent should have won but I won and in fact he didn't even see it coming.

Hello;
If I were in your shoes playing this "frustrating" player, I would be a good sport and just "let it ride" to the finish. Don't forget, as long he plays by CHESS.com RULES... he definitely is NOT violating the rules of the game. At least he is NOT trying to CHEAT you.
Let's say that I am playing against someone and he is winning. If CHESS.com rules GIVE me three days to make a move... and I feel like taking my good time... THAT is my business. AS long as I am NOT in violation of the rules set by CHESS.com .... I can sleep well at night with my conciense at ease.
Besides... playing CHESS is NOT really about winning... it's about MAKING FRIENDS and enjoying the game. If you can't do that, then you shouldn't be playing chess, not only against this fellow, but against everybody. So be a good sport and enjoy the game of CHESS!!! And remember... it's ONLY a GAME. Maybe you are just having a bad day with someone else.
Good luck to you on your game.

I agree 100% Reb. When you're lost, you're lost and you know it. I find resigning to be a gentleman's way of saying "I can see you have won this game, well done"
honestly, it's his choice whether on not to resign. you'll win eventually. if it is frusterating you, then look at it this way: you are going to beat this player! no matter what, a win beats all trash talking. ;) use the situation to learn and improve. maybe he should resign, but maybe he sees a draw opportunity. just play and learn and feel really good about the win when you get it.
If you are winning, then proper technique will finish the game. That is all there is to it! The truth is on the board.
yeah, besides the max number of good moves nessecary for chakmate in your game is 15

It is really sad to see a player do that in a game, but littleman, to alot of people its not just a game, and obviously this player is a bad loser and winning is important. i agree he has the right to play on, but he should still be a better player them that.
I may be wrong but......Hey kid move ur queen right next to his king then you'll both have a k, and b.......problem solved
Not a single strong player has suggested that one should play "until the bitter end". Only hacks believe in doing so. 
In the game in question both are very weak so its normal. What irks me most is the double standard of the original poster. Look at his other games, he didnt resign in similar situations when he was losing even worse and yet wants his opponent to now.

looks like a mob is forming.
Really, people let's cut the poster a break. He's been beat up enough. We should just sit back and let this post die.....
