Claiming a Draw

I was in a postion where my opponents king had 2 legal moves. Afterr offering a draw wich was declined? (for time reasons) I was forced to just check  repeatedly for like 2 minutes. It was a on board draw. Is there a way to claim it? Am I mistaken?

In Live Chess (of which you speak), when 3-fold repetition is active / valid, the simple offer of a draw grants the draw. One's opponent does not have to agree. However, sometimes it is unclear to us humans when the active / valid status is actually in play. In those cases, like yours, simply repeat the draw offer until it is automatically granted by the server.

Thanks, I still dont understand why he kept declining it. He was down on time anyhow but I just got annoyed checking  over and over so I just resigned....lol...

Happy Chess Drawmaster!
