[Suggestion]Forced auto move after certain amount of time

A quick suggestion.

Problem:
I play against a player and there is only one possible move for my enemy. My enemy realizes that he lost the game and for some reason, instead of keep playing or giving up, he decides to wait until the time runs out. And I have to wait 20 minutes until I can play my next game.

Solution: When there is only one possible move in a game, the piece will move automatically after a certain amount of time (or immediatly?) to prevent this. For example, after 1 min the king moves to it's only free square.
Then your opponent would just let his time run out, the moment that he has multiple moves. I don't see how this would solve your problem.
Seems weird considering the rules of chess. Also, as Messy says, it doesn't solve the problem when opponet leaves in lost positions where there are more than one possible move.

A better solution would be introducing a system to track players that often are sitting waiting time out in lost positions in order to sanction this behaviour.
