Adding time

is it bad to add opponents time who doesnt resign in lose position ?
sorry for my bad english
I think it's not that bad, however time part of the game. I wouldn't be for example very welcoming for example if my opponent gives me extra time when I'm 99% losing.
I often offer them a draw so I can play a new game.
One cannot resign in lost positions. Being checkmated are the *only* lost positions, and in checkmate one cannot resign anymore.
I prefer to win by checkmate. Wins because opponent runs out of time or resigns are less satisfying.
By the way, it's not a pleasant situation when I offer a draw, opponent declines the offer and wins the game. So, I only offer draw when I am completely sure I am not going to lose.
It is ok. I really dislike such opponents, in my opinion, it is a poor sportsmanship to not to resign when you are dead lost. Here is what I do when I am really annoyed: lichess.org/UCVxn3Vu
Just make sure to checkmate the opponent before move 300, otherwise the game is adjudicated as a draw.
That may be incorrect, you may have thought you got revenge there but you forget the rule 50 moves without a pawn advance or capture is a draw. So he got what he wanted, you didn't prove anything to him. Move 300 means nothing in and of itself, correct me if I am wrong but I do not think so.
OK, but he still walking into 50 move rule as well. Just saying .
@robotrock You are indeed wrong. I am well aware of the 50 move rule, the last capture was at move 278. All games longer than 300 moves are automatically declared as draws. Next time I'll be careful.
