Clarification of THE RULES

Those are very good points, I have wondered the same thing about reading a book while a corrospondence game is in session.

Hi, just wondering if yhere is a button you click to accept a draw. I offered a draw now its my turn to move and I see where it says I have a pending draw offer but I don't see any button to accept it!

If you have offered the draw AND THEN MADE YOUR MOVE, your opponent will see an ACCEPT button. This won't happen until you make your move - because your opponent won't have seen the board.

If he makes a subsequent move, that is equivalent to declining the draw.

 the pending draw offer is the one *you* made.  It's just reminding you, and will remain there as Art says until you opponents declines it or moves.  If someone offers you a draw there is a button to accept.

If someone asks you to resign, does the RESIGN button start to flash?

Ah !   That clears that up .Thanks for the help guys .

Nice post. It's hard to find that balance of originality in the world of chess where so many of the masters are memorizers
