What is the effect of a 'draw' with your opponent? I thought it would be both parties coming out unscathed, but my current opponent whos rating is about 300points better than mine reckons his rating will be dented.
Thanks for your help.

That is correct. The RHP computer assumes you will beat someone lower rated than you. If you only draw against them, you lose rating points. If you lose to them, you lose even more rating points than the draw. See here: FAQ

Where did you locate the claim draw rules? I am wondering if there is a way to force a draw on an opponent for having no pieces captured for x number of consecutive moves. Is that function working and is it 50 moves with no lost pieces?

It's fifty full moves by both players, with no lost pieces and no forward pawn movement.

And of course no backward pawn moves.

From the previous two knowledgeable posts, I think we can assume that sideways Pawn moves don't count
