Hello. After all thanks for this great work.
If you get a draw offer it has to be rejected when you move. That is how rules are. The offer does not keep valid in future. Right now the offer is kept, and it can be taken anytime in the future.
For example: you offer a draw in move 30 and is not accpted neither rejected. The game keeps going and you reach a won endgame, say 20 moves later, in move 50.. the oponent can now accept the draw!
you can cancel your draw offer.
You are right... didn't see the option till now.
Thanks.
there are no takebacks and standing draw offers in tournaments.
The ability to cancel does not bring site design into conformity with FIDE rules, nor with the rules of any national organization. A move is rejection of a draw offer. It should be canceled by that action.
I agree it should cancel after move automatically.
Yeah, when I play a game and am offered a draw it is annoying that a person offers me a draw then it takes time away from me to reject it and keep going on. I think that it should be that if a person ignores the offer that it goes away... I mean I've played two games in real-life where my opponent offered me a draw on my time when it was low, but I ended up getting a draw anyway, but I almost lost on time.
