He is not really delaying if he's using his allotted time. Did you also check to see how many other games he has going? Also, do you know what kind of lifestyle he leads? Maybe he's a busy guy. Perhaps he has health problems or is a retired doctor sailing the world with his new wife, a la "Stepbrothers."

My opponent Whirligig delays constantly. (a) He uses all of the three days allowed to make any move no matter how simple. (b) He has been on vacation twice for long periods of time. It is extremely frustrating to play with him.
