People at 900 elo are quite capable of winning win there up a queen
I accept draws if the opponent has gained my respect. Maybe after we've played 2 or 3 matches. Struck a nice conversation. Then I gladly accept or even offer a draw after a mouse slip. And then I offer a rematch.
Skill issue
^^
If I make a mouse slip it's entirely my responsibility. It happens because of my sloppiness or time trouble, because my mouse was not in good condition or I was playing on a tiny touch screen. It can be for whatever reason but it has nothing to do with my opponent so I will not expect him to offer me a draw or a takeback. And vice versa, I will not spend even a second of my time to try to understand if my opponent has made a mouse slip or just blundered. A move is a move, period. I think it's the most straightforward, honest and simple approach.

That's what always bothered you?
How about
- people who don't take responsibility for their actions and expect others to pay the price for that?
- Using "amount of" on countable nouns?

How often does your finger slip?
The AA meetings weren't helping
Who cares? Just resign and play another game
Well when I made a mistake like that i tell my opponent so he doesn't think that i was dumb but accepting draw because of that is just so stupid like imagine playing a 30 min rapid game, you're in endgame and your opponent blunder his queen and ask for a draw

Ya I understand in some scenario like if ur already up multiple points
Nope. Make a mistake on the chess board and pay the price. Simple.

My cousin @Get_Rickrolled69420 be like
I do it depends on my rating situation, if I had wining position, of course i will claim my victory. But in another cases i would like to accept draw. Or, if I much lower rating than maximum and I really enraged, then I would like to not give mercy to anyone, as they do to me.
One thing that has always bothered me is the amount of people who don’t accept a draw after an obvious finger slip, here is a recent game as an example, i was winning but on move 19 i finger slipped my queen
