@AbJayAN and
@badatthegame , but it was like "you know what? i am not moving my bishop 50 times for a draw. If you care a lot about the points, there, take them". But what i am interested to know is if the behaviour of my rival was ok or not, if every people would have done this or no...
Hmm... if you're playing casually you wouldn't care but if you're serious and you lose 6 points it should be terrible for you.

*I* would have accepted it, but of course your opponent's behaviour was okay, too. You *offer* a draw, and offers can be rejected.
Yes, it was bad form of your opponent not to accept a draw here.
Both were right, no harm in declining draws.
The clock is just as much a part of the game as the pieces and the board. Doesn't matter if you have 3 queens on the board and he just has a pawn - if you run out of time then you lose :)
I know it's frustrating because you may feel like you are "owed" a drawn result in a drawn position, but your opponent is well within their rights to attempt to flag you. The only unsportsman-like thing to do is to refuse to move, wasting everyone's time.
It is neither honourable nor dishonourable. It's just chess. Your opponent decides what he does. You decide what you do. It isn't more complicated than that.
Nobody has to a) accept a draw or b) resign. If they play on it’s up to you to beat them. Don’t blame them if you can’t. Providing they play there’s nothing dishourable, whatever you may think.
Play with increment if you cannot bear it as a man.
That's what I do. :D :D :D
It's yet another of the things that makes speed chess rather dumb at times.
Just premove the B 50 times if your black, then block the opponent.
