Accept draw?

Evidently my opponent has offered a draw in "Online Chess" which I'd like to accept. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it. The status in current games says, "My Move" and on the game page it says "You have a pending draw offer." I'd offer my opponent a draw, but that button no longer appears. Anyone have a workaround?

What has happened to me when I offer a draw is that I hit the button "offer draw" first, then then the page says still my move, ONLY after my move, the game goes back to my opponent, giving him the chance to  answer the draw offer. I  Would suggest doing the same, move and then probably, the button "accept draw" is going to pop up....

Let me know, just for curiosity how did it go!.

As it so happened, since I didn't get any response right away, I sent a chat message to my opponent explaining the situation and then just made a move. No "Accept Draw" button ever appeared. However, the system behaved as if I had accepted the draw and made the game a draw. I suppose it turned out okay for this situation, however I assume the same thing would have happened even if I wanted to reject the draw offer which would have been a bad thing. There's a flaw in the code somewhere. Maybe there's an incompatibility with IE9 or something?

is there a way to really accept a draw offer?

Yes. I've since accepted a couple of draws. In those case an "Accept Offer" draw did appear. Still don't know what happened with the earlier situation.
