"(His 2nd round) opponent found a way to offer a draw and breach etiquette in
four different ways:
1: he had a clearly worse position
2: he was outrated by over 400 points in this worse position
3: he had less than half the remaining time as I did in sudden death
4: he made the offer on my time

I had been thinking for several minutes.
My opponent was also the type that would move before I had hit the clock and
he preferred to crunch pieces instead of simply capturing them.
Despite these annoyances, I was able to ignore his behavior and win the game.
This time."

More Vigorito on Chess

http://www.masschess.org/Chess_Horizons/Articles/2007-04_sample.pdf

Includes a respectful game about a Vigorito loss to the wunderkind Ray Robson,
plus the funniest Chess article I ever read about losing to an annoying
opponent.

What Dave doesn't tell you is that when he was a teenager some adult guy angrily
yelled at him:
'DON'T ADJUST YOUR PIECES ON MY TIME!!!' and he never forgot it.
