Not accepting draws in a dead drawn position

Avatar of 1e4c6_O-1

Why is it that some people just really, really love to play until the end of the game?

for example, I had this game where my opponent wouldn't accept a draw in a dead drawn position

also, btw, this was a very high accuracy game

high accuracy
high accuracy

Would any of you also decline a draw in this game?

Why or why not?

Well, depends on the time situation. If I have more time and my opponent has low time, decline to flag your oppponent and play dirty. If it's equal time, accept.

Depends on other factors.

If my opponent was low on time, I might play on.

I also would keep playing if I was stalling ("I will clean my room after this game!"), or if I didnt like my opponent.

But in a tourney, I would accept the draw.

it was 3.5 mins for me and 4 for my opponent.

Accept or decline?

No increment

I like your 2nd reason to decline. about the first one, read comment #5.

accept

3.5 is a lot of time and the chances of a three-fold repition is very high, so if you decline, you're just wasting time for that 1% chance of a disconnect

he should have accepted. You should not have offered

@1E4_0-1 why do you think I shouldn't've offered it?

this position is 0.00

cause you had a time advantage.

He might have blundered.

No, he had the time advantage, reread post 5.

I said I have 3.5 mins and he had 4 mins

he is ahead by 30 secs/

Well sometimes he might not be thinking anything and just wants to keep playing casually...even though it may not help him.much

It is just his way.

If you really want to know the answer, you must ask him, preferably politely.

We do not always know what motivates others, sometimes they do not even know themselves, so even asking him might not in fact enlighten you.

be content with " c'est la vie" or " it is what it is"

Those sayings are there for  very good reasons, they stop you wasting time on trying to find out what you cannot, for one

Okay.

would you have accepted the draw in this endgame?

Avatar of chamo2074

no because I'd have time advantage

But don't you think this is easily drawable for white even whilst down 30 seconds?

3 minutes and 30 seconds is perfectly doable for a draw in this endgame.
