> Its not only of course in my view its basically doing extra, unnecessary things with intent to annoy or sadden the victim, in this case playing this position with hopes for a stalemate can be destroyed with the embarrassment of getting checkmated by 8 knights. Similarly in a position where you have the upper hand, your opponent might add you time this can be seen as an insult because instead of moving they just keep adding time. another example is when an arena tournament is close to ending, your opponent stalls not giving you the point
Also, subjectively someone might say that stalling at the end of an arena tournament is a valid strategy to keep the opponent from getting the point. It might annoy you but for many it looks like a good plan.
