People who ask for draw when about to lose

Many times i have encountered those who request for a draw after i capture their queen or when they are a few moves away from an eventual checkmate. I understand that these people have a right to ask for a draw when they wish to but my opinion of them skyrockets down when they do so like that. Come on guys, where is your honour? Do you not feel shame when you fish for unfair draws? Are you hoping that i will accidentally click the 'accept' button? What do the rest of you think?

If they do it over and over, and typically these idiots do, they should get reported.

I think you should not worry over such trivia.

So, sportsmanship is considered trivia?

Those people have a sense of humour.

If you're playing your girlfriend it is best to accept the draw.

Ignore the draw offer and crush them!

So it's an issue to hope that your opponent shows good conduct? Wow, maybe you can try making a comment that actually helps instead of trivialising the issue?

Lol, sorry if I sounded harsh, ik who you are, you post so much funny stuff on chess.com.

To really respond to you, it's not as if I lose sleep over these people. However, it would be nice to play with people who have the guts to resign when about to lose instead of asking for a draw. It's like dealing with errant drivers on the road, you feel angry as they pass by, but you feel normal again when they pass.

So, it's not a big issue. But it's still an issue, regardless.

But i didn't laugh :(

LOL

Next time try this:

"LOL, That's not the resign button. Try again"

With the V3 layout even Rensch had trouble finding the resign button on one occasion in yesterday's Bullet Brawl.

It's a bit rude, certainly, but it's not really a big deal. You don't even have to take the time to reject the draw, just make your move and it will do it automatically. It's less annoying than people who disconnect and make you wait until their time runs out.

I was playing a blitz game last night that went like this:

Some people want their way, it life. just say no &move on. 

let them be losers not you!!!!!
