Yeah, I figured asking would be rude/presumptuous, especially in a tournament... especially if it had been a situation where forcing a draw might be possible.
As for the conditional moves recommendations, I did that where I could (where I was forcing him to move and he only had one place to go to each time) but it gets a little difficult once he's got open options and there isn't really any one move that's better than others for him.
Were it a face-to-face or live game, I wouldn't have even brought it up... playing out to mate would have been fine, it was just the three days per move thing making it look like it could take forever if he chose to keep going.
Thanks again!
Since it is a tournament it would be in bad form to ask your opponent to resign, it would be bad etiquette to ask your opponent to resign in a casual game. Your energy would be better used in committing to play good chess every time you come to play.
