persistent draw offers

i have a game where my opponent is offering a draw every move in a position which is a straight forward loss to him. would it be possible to follow a FIDE style rule in all games where a second draw offer is disallowed unless the position changes materially?

Hey, aren't you the guy who asked for that draw offer in 4iar games?

LOL, that was *you*!!!

Oh yeah, that WAS me, wasn't it. Well, you agreed, rather vehemently, if I recall.

Sure I did - now is a good time to return the favour :-)

ok, how's this?

McStack has a game where his opponent is offering a draw every move in a position which is a straight forward loss to him. would it be possible to follow a FIDE style rule in all games where a second draw offer is disallowed unless the position changes materially?

Sorry! But I don't think this is a problem. You should don't accept the draw and follow the game until he quits or lost definitly. This is only a game and you shouldn't stress with this person. I bet he's laughing about you and your big trouble.

not a problem, more of an irritation ... i have heard some people aren't too careful and inadvertently accept draw offers when they really didn't mean to!

But you'd never do that (inadvertantly accept a draw offer when you didn't really mean to) would you, McStack? LOL

I think there's another rule which might be easier to implement: no more than 3 draw offers for an opponent at a game. That would lower the chances of accidentally hiting the Accept Draw option. And it's actually used if I am not wrong.

I think such rules are artificial and not really necessary. One may just ignore the offer, or if (s)he accepts by accident, it's her own fault.

One could also make a bad move by accident, this is the same problem, and it can be avoided only by being careful.
