you may say that now, but take my word for it when I tell you my total checkers games is about to dramatically increase by a whopping 50% if you count Gothic Checkers after Steve beats me :)
It seems to me that he is progressing pawns to become kings which would also suggest to me progress is being made, no matter how small as GI stated.
Another question is, has the 40 move rule been called for officially? What happens if the opponent never reads these boards? The only way it should be called for is to have Fencer or someone notify the opponent that it has been called for. I wonder if this has officially happened yet? Even if it has, pawns progressing towards crowning in my opinion should be considered "showing progress"
I see nowhere where it says "40 moves with no capture = draw"
Please tell me where this rule can "officially" be found.
On another note, have you done the gentlemanly thing yet and resigned that game or are you still clinging on to the hope someone with the power will end the match a draw for you?
What is even worse is that you have taken it to the boards to try and have others on your side in trying to have Fencer declare it a draw. This shows a complete desperation in coming out of the game without a loss.
Eat it up and resign.
I think that is irrelevant.
You know full well you are in a position of certain loss.
If your opponent wishes to crown more kings before he finishes you off, so be it, he is simply wasting time.
You, on the other hand, should resign. That is the only proper thing to do and maybe your opponent is giving you this chance to be a gentleman.
