Draw offer disappearing?

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, during the endgame of a 15+10 game, I was offered a draw during my turn as I had nearly 5 minutes left on the clock. The position seemed to be equal so I thought that I would take as much time as needed to study it and eventually accept the draw if I didn't find any winning line.

I spent more than 4 minutes studying it... but eventually noticed that the draw offer had disappeared! So I made a move with a few seconds left and ended up losing the game on time.

So my question: can a draw offer expire or be canceled? I thought it couldn't but now I wonder.

I also have to say that I have the "Confirm each move" option enabled so does a move that I don't confirm cancel a draw offer?

Thanks in advance for sharing knowledge!

Hmm. I would guess that any move rejects the draw offer.

Confirmed or not.

That's what I would tend to think, too. Could anyone confirm our guesses?
