Hello my opponent in this game, 4562788, keeps moving back and forth putting me in check in the same two positions. I have the advantage on the board with an additional piece (bishop). I would be able to checkmate him and finish the game, but he won't stop moving back and forth with the check. He offered me a draw, but I didn't take it. I think he shou ...[text shortened]... f in that position. I've had it happen to me hundreds of times."
This seems wrong to me.

Originally posted by SilentSpicAfter three move repetition he can claim a draw. And it was weird of you to point out the queen loss, even without the progress half, people already pointed that out. 🙄
Take the draw, if you don't you will lose the queen, plain and simple. If he does not take the draw, then you have the right to whine.

Originally posted by eladyWhy are you playing games with a 3 day move interval if you can't live by it, at the beginning, middle, or end of the game? You are excessively whiney and myopic. Probably ADD also. Get help.

Originally posted by THRILLHOIt seems to me that the only blatant ethical violations here were the following two:
Ok, but is it proper etiquette. It seems like a sore loser situation.
1. Asking your opponent to resign.
2. Strongly implying that your opponent was a "sore loser."
It occurs to me that you don't need to know certain technical rules of chess (e.g. perpertual check) to know that the above actions are rude.

Originally posted by THRILLHOYou could have moved Ka8 then blocked the check with your bishop. In which case, you would have lost your queen but also would have gotten out of the perpetual check. In that case, you probably would have lost. The draw was the best you could have hoped for.

Originally posted by eladyOne of the most common questions that I see arise with online chess sites and over the board games is when it is proper to resign. First, let me state that you should never ask an opponent to resign. I myself sometimes have games between friends where I try and help them with their openings and tactics. I have told them when a game has reached the point that resigning is the only logical conclusion, but I myself will never message an opponent and tell them that they should resign. I have been tempted to do this many times, but it is not my place. An opponent has the right to play a game till the bitter end. They may just be learning and want to see how you end it. They may not be as familiar as you are with the game, and they might not see the checkmate coming, even when its forced, and as simple as two or three moves away. They may also be playing for a stalemate, and it is their right. It is your responsibility to make sure you win a won game, not theirs.

Originally posted by THRILLHOYou could avoid the draw by resigning yourself, and being a good loser. You fault your opponent for not resigning, but you are not resigning either, are you?

When you see somebody parked in a prohibited space, do you get mad because you wanted it for yourself?
