Glad you asked as I was going to anyway. I don’t think it’s rude but wanted to know if it’s common etiquette to agree to draw amongst lower rated players, even when clearly I have the upper hand.

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.

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"!

well I guess you could say he fought to the death.
