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. In the endgame, the most common errors, besides those resulting from ignorance of theory, are caused by either impatience, complacency, exhaustion, or all of the above.

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.

I always urge players to study composed problems and endgames.
