When the position is super dead I'll use the draw button... but usually my opponent and I understand, and willingly do a 3 fold repetition.
Unless they're a rude POS like Hikaru, which is rare.

I just played a game where the guy offered me a draw when he was dead lost near the end

Had to delete this and repost it since chess.com wouldn't let me edit it... such an amazing website...
Hikaru is a brilliant player, but you can't really trust the guy. He backpedals a lot, tries to be balance but he clearly believes a side over another.
Eric has his only problems, a washed up GM who can't seem to beat legit players and go do those "speed runs" with newly created accounts. He obviously destroys low rated players and looks smug doing it. When he plays Titled Tuesdays and Arena Kings, guy gets destroyed, lmao.

He peaked at low 2600, so a somewhat average GM. Obviously strong to elite GMs will demolish him, that's just how it works.
Yea tell him, @poojafan69

It is a cheap shot at avoiding losing the game. If she/he immediately resigns after you've declined the draw offer, it is harmless, I guess, even if slightly unsporting. What is genuinely annoying is when people start spamming you with draw offers every single move. I wonder if chess.com has already implemented a way to block that sort of behavior.
Particularly wrong is when a moderately lower rated player being crushed is asking for draws (which I declined) and then starts in the chat demanding a draw, saying I'm mean, saying that a draw won't change the rating (wrong), saying I had to give a draw, etc., etc. Over the decades I've run into such players OTB so I had no problems remaining calm and I simply took a screen shot of the chat and reported him for abuse.
Hello, you noob kids who didn't agree with me: Eric Hansen, not just anybody but a GM, just agreed with me here in this video about offering a draw when you are dead lost: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1834087986?t=00h30m20s. Checkmate, noob kids.

Like why? Did he think my head got hit by an object very hard and became stupid or something? When I declined, he resigned...lol.
Maybe they thought you are as stupid as you seem to think everyone else is. There are quite a few jerks like that on this site.
Or maybe they knew they were lost and took one shot at your screwing up and giving them the draw?

Found one of the idiots who think people will randomly click the accept the draw button. 1/1,000,000 odds. What stocks do you buy, so I would like to short them?
unless they actually have an excuse to draw
