Why You Should Never Offer A Draw

I only offer, when possition is equal.

No, a draw offer usually occurs when you know its an easy theoretical drawn position. So this post is just wrong from the first paragraph

Like I said in my response.

Eh i mean in many cases, the draw offer still occurs in the way the blog post describes it lol so it has some ground

Resigning is always faster than offering a draw :)

I once had a decent winning position against an extremely strong player, but got so nervous+panicked that I blundered the entire game in 1 move and got checkmated in around 4 moves

Yes, but what if you are mildly winning? Why resign?

@A14747AT that's different, I was only pointing out the case mentioned where you are losing not when you are winning.

Thanks for the article!

Most of time, I'm too shy to offer a draw. When I do, it's because the position is impossible to not draw (except if one player makes everything for losing the game). I offered a draw in OTB games only twice and got a draw offer once. I accepted the draw who was offer (a opposed colours bishops endgame with no passed pawns) and my two draws offers were declined (but in both cases, the game finished into a draw within the next 10 moves).

I might still accept it though
