3 scenarios-

What would you do if you were in a slightly winning position, and your opponent asked for a draw bc he had to leave online game for an emergency?

Same question, but you were in a neutral position?

Or if you were in a losing position?

If you were winning and he had to leave for an emergency tell him that you have no problem continuing the game later.

I'd ignore the draw offer in the 1st and 2nd case.

In the 3rd case, if I were obviously losing and they asked for a draw because they had to go (and I believed them), I'd resign.

Im that rare person that likes to believe people.  Id give them the draw regardless.  I mean, its onlie chess.  It has no impact on my real rating.

Binary - I would lean that way too. If it was an emergency I think they would just leave or resign.

Diak - yea that is a good as well. Unless I was a few moves from mate.

Yeah that's why I'd ignore it, because if I had to go, I wouldn't be typing, I'd just resign and go.

But once this happened with a friend, we set the time control really long just for a friendly game, and in a losing position I was taking a long time to think and he said he had to go and offered a draw. So I resigned and thanked him for the game.
