Can I report people for deliberately wasting time and stuff like that

because im here with two rooks and 7 pawns against a lone king and they wont resign or move, just tanking the time bank =/

@OP: In Online Chess, such games take care of themselves. The clock will eventually force the game to progress; meanwhile, you may play as many games as you like.

In Live Chess, if your opponent stalls or abandons the game, his/her account will automatically be flagged via the Fair Play Policy, so you don't need to report your opponent.

If this happens in a tournament, then stalling could delay dozens or hundreds of people. In that case, you can report the game to the staff in a Support Ticket, and if your opponent is clearly stalling in the staff's opinion, they will adjudicate the game.

As long as you don't time out yourself, you should eventually win.  I wouldn't bother the admins about it, as they have plenty to do already without handling complaints all the time.  It will resolve itself in your favor.  Your opponent needs to grow up, but there is nothing you can do to speed up that process for him/her.

you can always set up conditional moves-in online chess that is (particularly if there's only a handful of moves available to your opponent). By agreeing to play the game, you agreed to the time limit, and it's not against the rules for an opponent to take all of the time he is allotted per move. 

With regards to the single king versus a bunch of other material-he/she may be hoping for a stalemate-at which point there's probably not much you can say or do to convince him/her to resign instead, which is annoying but you can't do much about it, other than hope he/she times out, or take the time to checkmate him/her.

Ok thankyou

But it's so annoying, I mean who does that, what is wrong with the person... I mean I'm waiting right now for the time to run out, and the guy isn't talking in chat... The guy's name is jack_s97

But they are so annoying, I wrecked him and he's just given up and decided to waste time... Also Woah, you are still active after like 7 years! Nice

I agree.  It is highly annoying when people do that.  Would think adults would be able to simply say, "gg" and resign.

Yeah I don't get why people do that. So my opponent and I both had 20 minutes on the clock, and I just destroyed all his pieces. It became bishop + knight +  and two pawns against his lone king. He just stopped playing, and I kept just staring at the screen for like 10 minutes. Eventually my patience ran out, and I switched to some other tabs, and got distracted by something else and totally forgot about the game. Afterwards I was closing my older tabs and saw that the game ended in a draw! Apparently he made a move after 16 minutes and my time simply ran out because I wasn't there to play.

So bravo for him, he got a draw in a very unimportant friendly match and got that +1 very unimportant ranking. So what did he really achieve? Does he really believe he earned that draw and he deserves the +1 ranking? Is he trying to prove to himself or what exactly? Who exactly was he trying to impress with that anti-climatic draw?

People deliberately wasting my time is a reason I tend to keep away from rapid games, they just not move at all and I have to wait there for absolutely no reason. I hope there was less of these types of people.

They were, are and will be

You can report for stalling, which is what they are doing.

Hello I wish to report a player, panzhizhka, Who comtines to stall in bad postion.

She is cute though.

Last I checked, wasting time is not a crime. If it was, we'd all be in prison.
