Opponent refuses to move
Opponent refuses to move
I am playing a person who is refusing to move or resign. We had two games, I resigned the first when it was completely obvious that I had no chance. In the second game my opponent has no chance but has stopped playing. They refuse to move or resign. I am more than happy for a person to continue playing even if their situation is hopeless. It is my duty to checkmate them not theirs to resign. But this person is doing nothing. I have noticed that this person has stopped playing on another game which they are likely to also lose. I have sent, what I consider to be reasonably polite, messages (3) to this person who has not bothered to answer and still refuses to move. There is still about 50 days left before the game is forfieted on time. I am very frustrated. Is there anything that can be done?
Looks like this one has sorted itself out, but the non-resigning loser is one of the greatest banes of online chess.gmiller wrote:Is that the right game? Your ID isn't one of the players, also, black has resigned.
In addition to reducing the remaining time of offenders, how about some kind of sanction, such as 'name and shame' or suspension? I only suggest those as I know you're too nice a guy to entertain any notions of physical retribution.
Right match, wrong game?

I suspect the match id was right, xmate probably meant g1104635*9*31:

not enough moves
what do you do when a player is not moving although they have lost and they are under the 10 move mark for making a game official?
