What does intentionally playing slow to manipulate the time limit constitute?

Intentionally playing slow to manipulate the time limit falls under the category of "Cheating - Stalling." This is because stalling involves deliberately taking more time than necessary in order to gain an unfair advantage over opponents, particularly in a timed setting. When a player is aware that they are playing slowly as a tactic to force their opponent to run out of time or to affect the outcome of the match due to time constraints, this is considered dishonest behavior that goes against the principles of fair play.

In contrast, Slow Play typically refers to situations where a player is taking an excessive amount of time to make decisions but without the intent to manipulate the match outcome. Regular gameplay strategy would imply that the player is utilizing normal tactics within the rules, not engaging in unethical behavior. Declaring it a minor infraction would not adequately address the severity of the intent behind the action. Cheating - Stalling is a serious matter, as it undermines the integrity of the game.
