sorry to all nor a draw game when you both want it ,i mean when the player knows they are losing they play the same moves so the game ends

It's your responsibility to prevent 3-time repetition of the same position if you are winning.

A draw by repetition only happens if both sides repeat the same position 3 times. If you want to win, don't do that.

When I was a little child, i.e. years ago, I remember playing a game with another child who was winning but, then, made a mistake leading to the stalemate. I said 'it's a draw' but, sadly, not only that child but all others watching decided that I simply lost and, even worse, tried to cheat. So, by a democratic procedure I was announced a loserCry

The rules of chess are there for everyone to use. You can not fault someone for using the rules to their advantage. This is not cheating in any way.

I heard somewhere that chess, with best play from both sides, is a draw. I guess thats true.

to all the point I was makig during any game when a player is loseing I think they play for a draw

Don't be ridiculous.  Not everyone who is in a losing position plays for a draw; some people actually resign; others play until the bitter end.  By the way, I checked out your games currently available for viewing.  I only saw two games ending in a draw.  Both were by stalemate.  In each case you had a significant material advantage and should have won.  It was your choice of move(s) that left your opponent not in check but with no place to legally move.

years ago I played a game and got a completely blocked pawn position; my opponent had more time on the clock than I; guess what he did?  He ran his king around behind the pawns until I ran out of time.  I won't make THAT mistake again.

That wouldn't be possible in an OTB game under FIDE rules, and online chess is only a way to learn and have some fun after all.

@bigluigi surprised he didn't offer draw?
