In bullet games at Lichess it is not that uncommon to play on lost positions to try to either flag the opponent or to offload as many own pieces as possible to seek a stalemate with the frenzy. Conversely, the winning side then tries to delay the win by promoting a bunch of unneeded pieces and sort of demonstrating who is really in charge. It’s even fun.


Yes, I've done it many times!

At the time of writing based on total games played at https://database.lichess.org/ one in every 272,369 games are mine :p
