There was "Offer a Draw" then "Claim a Draw"... I clicked on each one, as my opponent and I had agreed to a draw...

Now, he the game shows as his turn, and he can't find anything that mentions accepting a draw...

Can anyone help?

If you offered a draw, but didn't confirm it and make a move, then the claim of a draw will probably over-ride the offer.

If the claim isn't valid, it will be ignored.

Just get your opponent to offer a draw, or offer when it is your move again.

'Claiming' a draw is NOT for reaching an agreement. It's only for when one of the conditions for taking a draw WITHOUT your opponent's consent has been met (eg no captures or pawn movements for 50 moves - I think it's in the FAQ).

So, just 'Offer' a draw and it should work.
