There is nothing wrong with trying to exploit the natural human tendency to become impatient when forced to play a boring position.

Patience is the most valuable trait of the endgame player.

I always urge players to study composed problems and endgames.

Agreeing to draws in the middlegame, equal or otherwise, deprives you of the opportunity to practice playing endgames, and the endgame is probably where you need the most practice.

Under no circumstances should you play fast if you have a winning position. Forget the clock, use all your time and make good moves.

Errors have nothing to do with luck; they are caused by time pressure, discomfort or unfamiliarilty with a position, distractions, feelings of intimidation, nervous tension, overambition, excessive caution, and dozens of other psychological factors.

The business of the endgame is maneuvring to control critical squares, advancing or blockading passed pawns, preparing a breakthrough by the king, or exploiting the subtle superiority of one piece over another.
