Answers.Text: I've seen it say claim draw/win, as well.  Usually I play blitz, so I just let it run - but on classical games, I give the opponent "enough time" to get back in... and if they don't, claim whichever makes more sense given the position.

  I have encountered a profound number of players that simply leave the game when they realize they are losing/in difficult situation, without pressing "I resign" button. This often leaves me waiting a long time for no reason and, consequently, wasting my time.
  
  Is there a site that prohibits this?
