Well, just ignore the button, then. If he wants to play on, he plays on. If he wants to draw, he claims.

So it would be like the 2-key firing system used to safeguard nuclear missile launches? Both players would need to press the CLAIM DRAW button (simultaneously) to ensure Mutually Assured Draws and avoid accidents.

Maybe it's like some courtrooms-- no cameras allowed.
So I just noticed in online chess that when a threefold repition occurse, there is no offer draw button, only a claim draw button. After threefold repition, is it not legal to still be able to ask for a draw?? (not necessarily claim it as your opponent could still decline.) I know what you are thinking, why ask for a draw when you could claim it. But hypothetically, one could only want to draw if the opponent also wanted to have a draw.
