I've gotten draws against lower rated players with the old cheeky draw offer in a worse position. Not 6 points down but definitely in a position I would play on for the win if I were my opponent.
I've also won games after my opponent blundered having refused a draw.
I`ve won games in correspondence Chess because my opponent died. Talk about the "dead man`s defense"!
no, it's not etiquette. in fact, the player who offers a draw when obviously losing is an idiot.
I don't see what him offering a draw in an unrated internet game has to do with his level of intelligence.
well, "idiot" isn't only used to describe someone's IQ.
