I always play 10/10 tournament,but this stalling is so annoying..think about that u only have i step to do checkmate on opponent but the opponent is clever because tournament time almost finish but the opponent have 4 to 5min time and they wait until tournament time finish..so annoying..
That’s a quirk of how chessdotcom handles the end of Arena. On Lichess, the games finish, but no longer count towards the Arena score. There are merits to both systems.
I'm having this issue with someone in a daily game. They are clearly in a losing position. They'll make one move, and then turn on vacation pause. That causes all of their games to pause. But later, the same day, they might make a move, and then after my move they may wait a day, and then again go on vacation pause. I think there should be a restriction that after coming back from vacation pause, the pause cannot be used again for a number of days.

Beat to report if people are abusing this function
I never understood why this is against the rules. Yes it is annoying, but if you play an X min game, then it means you agree that you will spend your next 2X minutes on that game
Frankly, I love it when an opponent stalls a lost position. I never report them.
Stalling is pretty annoying, but if they are stalling I am winning so I don't care.
Everyone is stalling in my rapid 10|0 games when they are losing!
I undoubtedly have come across many occasions where the person in your opposition gives up in rage and loss, but wants to punish their opponent just for devouring any hope of them winning. In annoyance the winning person has to wait until their opponent loses on time or they lose on game abandonment. During the stalled game, the winning person has to wait many minutes in boredom and time is lost. The people who have stalled to me occurred most when I was in lower ratings, but still bad sportsmanship still happens when someone is losing in utter anger.
I'm not blaming everyone, as most of you are nice. But I'm just asking if there is or will ever be a way to stop this insanity. The stalling people usually take 5-60 minutes. In my rapid games (for getting trophies for leagues) stallers often annoy me because this is wasting my time. The time that should be used to play chess.
Please stop.
+1 = agree
shut up bro let us be whats wrong with giving your opponent a taste of their own medicine
