If I made a move that made it mate in one, and it's their turn to mate me. Then, just mate? Instead of sitting there for no reason waiting.

It is not against the rules, i do it regularly and never got even a warning about it

But why not resigning? What are you hoping for? That they mouseslip or lose connection? What is there possibly to be gained?

On the other hand there is definitely time lost by playing on instead of resigning. So in my opinion your behavior is a loss of time for both sides without any benefit - and it is understandable, that your opponents dont like it and therefore behave like they do.

I don't think you understand. It's their turn. If they feel their time is being wasted, why sit there waiting for several minutes to go by before mating? Takes about a second to move a piece. Takes minutes to wait.

I do understand what you mean. But often the game is not magically in a situation where it is suddenly mate in 1. Usually it is several moves leading to it in which it is clear already what is going to happen.

You playing all the moves to the actual mate just wastes time. Your opponent is p***** off that you waste their time and do the same to you.

Often times, and in the game that happened to me that made me start this post, it was a single move that made it mate in one. And often, a single bad move can make it mate in one.

People Who Have Mate-In-One, And Choose To Waste Time Before Mating You Just To Annoy You Are: Badly-Parented, No-Life Trolls.

I Recommend: Telling Them They Could Be Using Their Time In A Productive Way, Report, Block, And Take A Walk (Which Can Help In Forgetting About Them).

does this happen a lot to you? I'm not sure if I've ever experienced it. People losing might do it periodically.

You could resign as others suggest and move on with your life. Or, if you have a bit of a sense of humour you could give them lots more time and see if they actually want to wait hahaha

I would say, this is a good point, but not in case of bullet, where mate in 1 move may be easily blundered (even at a good or won position).

Also, in many bullet games people try to take a queen at 2nd move by their unprotected bishop hoping something was premoved (the same thing may happen to fianchettoed bishops - and it totally destroys totally equal position literally in a single move). In such situations just pausing instead of immediate taking that bishop is something close to "sore winning" but it is a very pleasant revenge for such a playstyle. So, i think, sore winning situation often happens when a person thinks that some dirty tactics was used against them and tries to take a revenge for that (consequently they do not think their time is being wasted, they are quite happy to see suffering someone who they don't like).

Of course, this does not make sore winning good, but it may explain the motivation of people doing this.

For all the people who won't ever resign, please, have a look here (2'06"):

It's not a rule, it's sportsmanship. Beth learned that at 7, can you?
