People who deliberately win

People often talk about people who deliberately lose...they call them sandbaggers and it is frowned upon by the chess community.
But there has been absolutely no research into people that deliberately win...these people annoy me when I play them.
The only solution is becoming one of them, unfortunately.
Petition Lichess to make people who are deliberately winning, resign. You can conduct your very own study and publish the results on here.

Title it, something like, The games I won when my opponent resigned because they were deliberately winning’.

It would make for fascinating reading when you give a complete move by move analysis of just how they ended up deliberately winning or where the engine says you deliberately lost and got docked points or banned for sandbagging.
Know this is satire, but i really enjoy playing against warriors who won't give up. Even at the cost of they blundering their queen and still beating me. It is really satisfying and makes me proud.
Every loss is bc of our own miscalculations.

Every game is a battle with ourselves.

Unless the opponent hits 96% honestly. Then bravo Mr. Fischer.

Agree. A draw is bad enough.

This guy really hated them:

Scientists and philosophers have discussed for years what could possibly have caused him to play 47. Kg4, and yet none of them has arrived at a satisfactory conclusion. Some have suggested that it was in the hopes I would premove 47...Kf6 but others have debunked this by pointing out that even if I did play that, the game would be drawn and White would gain nothing. Currently, the leading theory seems to be that he was hoping I flagged, but this would require him to forget that he was playing a game with a 2 second increment. But many have pointed out that he has been banned, proving that he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. This last point has prompted others to posit that perhaps he is dyslexic and saw the lowercase "e" in the engine line flipped horizontally as a "g". Hikaru Nakamura was once interviewed on the subject, but said something incomprehensible about "juicing the juicer." I looked around, but couldn't find the video clip--if anyone can find it, please point me to it.
The game above is a clear example of a player deliberately winning. With two queens on the board, they should have resigned instantly. Some players have no shame.
