I gotta tell you, there's no way that anyone can foresee every impending draw. Sure, I can understand being annoyed when the position is a textbook draw. However, you say under any circumstance if you offer a draw, and it ends as such, you'll be upset and ignore them. That's completely illogical. Often times a player will have a better position, and thus decline the draw, only to be just unable to convert the point. Was it worth a try? Absolutely. Or what if you're down a queen, offer a draw which is logically declined and then your opponent blows it. I hope you didn't mean situations like this, and only when it's obvious, but you should probably make that clearer in your profile.

People, usually teenagers, who think they know everything.

Hopefully, they'll awaken to the fact that they in fact do not know everything either sometime before they're 40 or sometime before someone gives them a good ass-kicking.

Chess : Like trevor33...being lazy & foolish enough not to check.......
...oh, and Vacation time "abuse" 😉

non-chess : selfish twits who lane hop right in front of you (often requiring you to brake), under the misguided impression that letting their indicator flash once gives them some sort of right of way.
....and then they wonder why they get called what they are.
