I'm not sure, it's just that you guys were in the middle of a game, he probably wanted to finish. I'm not sure why he wanted a draw though.
Would you prefer...
Sort:
I know I shouldn't start a game without finishing it first, but my new job can call me at any time, so there's nothing I can actually do about this unless I want to never play chess again.
But, on the other hand, it sounds like he wanted to draw specifically.
The thing is, here on chess.com, you can do correspondence chess, you aren't sitting over one game all the time, take a look at my profile, I have many games going on at once, each move is made in the course of about 3 hours, (for me at least)
ill challange you to an unrated game so you can see how it works, agree?

I don't have to leave so often that correspondence chess is the only way to play. To be honest, I can't stand games over 10 minutes long.
Theres no other way then really, live chess uses blitz, bullet time, but it also has 30 minutes for each player, you can try that. it has 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 for each player. try live chess
Anyone who choses a games over 30 minutes should expect to play out the time. If all of a sudden the person has to leave, well sorry, he or she should resign. It makes me laugh when I play someone who plays a 30 minute or more game and says ''I'm tired, play faster''. pfft ya right.
You gotta know exactly what you want, and how youll be able to play
I've played over-the-board and at ChessCube often enough to know that 10 minute timers are the maximum for me.
I always resign when I need to go, you are forfeiting the game when you are leaving.
1. Someone resigning because they need to go suddenly, mid-match.
2. Someone offering a draw because they need to go suddenly, mid-match.
I'm new to internet chess in general (I've played more over-the-board games), but I anticipate that I'll have this issue. So I'm wondering about the etiquette. First time I chose option 1 over ChessCube, and for some reason the other guy was pissed. He said, "Offer a draw next time." Wouldn't you prefer a win over a draw?
