opponents want draw? huh?

I don't win often in live chess.  However, on numerous occasions when my opponent has no chance (very low on time, etc.), I am offered a draw.  this has happened over and over again.  why?  I notice no one ever offers me a draw when  I have no chance. what's going on?

Hi Bob, beat them into the ground my friend and show no mercy !

just ignore them, they trying to distract you hoping to win on time ? 

I sometimes reply: "Did you mean the button just to the right of that?"

(i.e. Resign)

I dont play live, but in a correspondance game I have going I just got a draw offer in a game where I was two pawns up with the ability to produced a passed pawn.  While certianly not a forced win yet, it was far from hopeless.  Just decline nicely, and keep playing.

If you were really beating me in a game would you offer me a draw?  come on.

Dude I really hope you stick around... that's hilariouse

I just smile and ignore.

I might tell them not to do it again or I'll stop giving rematches. I do the same thing when my opponent resigns so early that they don't lose rating points, usually from premoving.

If it works, it works, if not, well I'll find someone else to play.

 That's right!!!! Mate em They'll scream in agony.

Deploying the Bongcloud is sufficiently humiliating.

interesting. My daughter (6) had a similar experience, but she did not quite understood the concept, so she accepted (but I won daddy!). Now she is as nasty as the rest ....

Just to provide a bit of insight into possible motives for your opponent.

Sometimes in blitz I'll be very short on time, and forcing checks with a Rook and/or Queen. If I can get a string of checks going, I don't have time to think if the position has been repeated twice or thrice, so I just hit the draw button.

Every now and again I find an opponent who spams draw offers in Live Chess in dead lost positions. I point out that the "Resign" button is below the one he keeps smashing and continue playing. Then, as time permits, I promote as many pawns as possible before winning the game and mentioning that I kept declining the draws because I thought I had winning chances (crazy, I know!).

This might seem passive-aggressive, because it is, but I've never had someone do that to me twice.

Ofcourse they don't wanna lose!
