Offering a draw in a lost position

The best solution is beat their ass.

Glad to see that you still tell it straight.

@ smellinganybodysbutts   You showed here yesterday and your mouth talks while your brain is stuffed somewhere where the sun don't shine.

It didn't. I won. I think you can see what I was complaining about though. If everybody did that in a losing position it would soon become incredibly tedious playing on here. As I said, no big deal and hey, if that's the way you want people to conduct themselves on here then good luck.

So hey guys I reaslised the reason recently. The reason is in relation to declining the draw. If one mistakenly clicks the decline few times quickly which is understandable when upset, they would in turn offer a draw. This has to be fixed. I’m going to make a topic on this or something

Realized lol using a phone to type is hard

I wish that when you tap the resign and/or  the draw button - a confirmation note would pop up so you can confirm your choice. More than once over the past few years while adjusting the size of the chessboard, I've accidentally initiated resign or draw.

In general, you shouldn't offer a draw unless you feel it's at least either (a) even, (b) book-drawn, or (c) unclear.  However, if the side with the winning position is in time trouble, and the losing position is not, I think it's OK for either side to make such an offer (albeit once, not multiple times).  I for one don't like to see an otherwise good game end in a flurry of time-pressure blunders.

Lol that is not what is discussed. What is discussed if a form of cheating that players routinely do.

Lol wrong forum but it is a form of cheating because they do it to get the other person to offer a draw by over clicking the decline button

You don't have to decline the draw by clicking the decline button, you can just make your next move.

very well said...

Omg guys I am not talking about people like us who know of these tricks. I am talking about the unsuspecting user who may get a bad experience. Chess .com should fix this issue as it is a way for people to cheat others. I do not understand why you guys are just opposing the suggestion with “you don’t have to answer” As long as there is a reasonable chance of someone getting conned out of a win it should be remedied 

Every chess player needs to learn that they can decline draw offers (online or OTB) simply by making a move.  That is the answer.  This is a very simple concept, and easy to remember.  No clicking, no explanations, no apologies, no fuss.  And once understood, never forgotten.  So it's really a non-issue to the vast majority of players.

You should not have to learn this as a result we have a good portion of our community trying to do this disgusting tactic. As stated if there is a common ploy that a reasonable person would fall for, then it should be prevented in order to give everyone a good experience. In a OTB game if you decline a draw offer you do not have the chance of offering a draw by mistake. Let me be clear, this has never happened to me, I have noticed this early on. However, I can see newer users mistakenly offer a draw by mistake. As part of the community, I want everyone to have just as much fun as I do, therefore, I believe it should be remedied. Let me clarify even further. When playing chess online one should only need to know the rules of the game. You or I or anyone shouldn't have to know about such tactics and be wary of them. We shouldn't have to wait and make a move to decline. I simply do not understand where the opposition to such a small change is coming from. People are cheating, going completely against the guidelines given by Chess.com. Therefore, it should be fixed.

I disagree. If you lose a game because you didn't know about en passant, that is your fault. It is up to the player to know the rules of the game. Likewise, you should know how to use the interface when you're playing online chess. If once you get a draw instead of a win, well, lesson learned. Move on, don't repeat the mistake. 

en passant is a rule in chess whereas not answering a draw offer is not a rule in chess... that comparison is just wrong

Making a move is answering a draw offer.

Here's a classic:

White, the reigning World Champion, has just offered a draw. Black, a Grandmaster and future chief arbiter of several World Championships including the Fischer-Spassky match, accepted it. 

What did Black miss? Do you really believe that Petrosian missed it?
