@XiangqiZhiSi, I might be asking an overly basic question, but I'm curious to confirm. You said that you did an "evil-lish" thing against your opponent by stalemating them when you were up by a lot of material, because you were annoyed at your opponent. Do you actually realize that stalemating is a draw? So instead of beating your opponent, you purposefully caused a draw?
I might be a bad person

It could be that there's no good reason to purposefully stalemate if you are completely winning. Also, considering your rating on chess.com alone, it's easy to assume that you'll most likely stalemate in positions where mate in 1 is everywhere.
True, I just just a little annoyed that they try to just be annoying so I try to make them learn there lesson. I'll own up and say that I should play with a chess clock but I'm not rich.
I'm not going by ratings. Not usually.
I tend to give people the benefit of doubt when they make an innocent-looking claim.
The benefit. Whether rightly or wrongly.
But can it be more fun to do the reverse?
Hahahahah.

Xiang - eventually a chess clock might get into your 'IRL' games.
Which can also be called 'OTB' games.
'Over the board'. As opposed to 'Off Track Betting'.
