Stalling
This unsportsmanlike behavior is a tactic some players use when they realize they cannot win, often to frustrate or annoy their opponent. Stalling can take several forms, including:
Letting the clock run out: Instead of resigning, the player simply allows the time to expire without making any moves.
Taking excessively long between moves: The player deliberately takes a very long time between moves, effectively dragging the game out with unnecessary or pointless moves.
Some players may even send taunting messages in the chat, such as "haha, have fun waiting," to further frustrate their opponent.
💡 In Daily games, this behavior is referred to as 'Vacation Abuse,' where players misuse the vacation feature to delay the game indefinitely.
