open another browser - play another game, but keep the other game in sight just in case they come back to catch you out. Only thing I can think of.

Watch some TV, grab a beer, etc., etc. until the dirtbag loses on time....then start a new game with hopefully a more honorable opponent.

That's what I do.

And if it's a mate in 1 or 2 and they're letting their time run down, and they move with something like 5 seconds left, I also let all my time run down to 5 seconds then go ahead and mate them, that way they might think I actually left lol Tongue out

Wait and win on time.  Depending on game situation, and their internet connection might give them the benefit of doubt, but if there is no doubt I block them.

Play faster games (5/0) but otherwise just open another browser or do some cleaning up in the house while watching the computer I have waited 1 hour for someone to move once and they didn't do anything

I play 1 0 :)

I find that 1/0 is too fast for me but I could do it at least with 4/0 is my lowest

I don't play live chess anymore, but when I did it was no more than 5 5 for this very reason.
