I received an email from chess.com that one of my opponents has offered a draw.  When I go to the game though, it simply says "My Move" and there is no button or any other way to accept a draw.  Can you help me?

Thanks

When you go to the game page you should see something which says "Your opponent has offered a draw" and then you should see a link to "accept" or "decline" the draw. However, if you make a move after your opponent offers the draw then it is no longer valid as making a move after a draw offer is just the same as declining a draw offer.

Ok...thank you.  I guess I made a move before noticing it.  Cool

This happens all the time. One technique I find useful is to flag up the draw in the chat box BEFORE making the draw offer. e.g. "Does this look like a draw to you?"

I use Draw? to let my opponent know I am offering one and they can look at the fine print.

Bang! Bang! You're dead. (I'm very quick on the draw.)
