If a player is hopelessly lost, but insists on prolonging the game and taking the maximum time available for each move, is there a procedure whereby the opposing player can request an adjudication from the administrators of the site? (No, no one is doing this to me, but a tournament in which I am participating is being held up by a sore loser who won't resign, despite having a bare king against queen, rook, and knight.)

There is no current procedure.

It would be nice if there were one.

Hello, think about this please:
what if the "loser" is looking for a stalemate?.
Is it really fair to stop a game if there is a possibility to draw it?.
What if the "winner" doesn´t know how to play an endgame?.
Just think about it.

Actually, Pentotal, in the game that I mentioned, there is no realistic stalemate possibility, and the winning player is more than highly rated enough to know how to win with such superior force. His opponent is also highly rated enough to know that the position is hopeless. I agree that adjudications should be very rare and used only as a matter of last resort, but there are times when they are justified. If the adjudicator were to have any doubts about whether a position was truly lost, it would be simple enough to deny the request for adjudication. Consider, too, the possibility that in a theoretically drawn position -- say, King and Knight against King -- a player could prolong the game for another fifty moves (or, at the rate of one move every seven days, for almost a year). So I think that a procedure for adjudicating such games would be helpful.

If that was the case,(looking for a stalemate), It would not seem logical that the player would take the maxium amount of time in a losing position, one player that is playing me ,Jerick by name, is taking all the time even down to the last minute. That type of play is not looking for a stalemate, but being simply a poor sport. I looked at his other games, most of the games he is lost in he does the same, so at least I'm not the only one he does it to, but I'm willing to wait though. Afterall, he's still abiding by the rules that are laid out by this site, and playing people of are poor of sport when it comes to losing is something that one has to get use to.
