My opponent had "offered me a draw". If I continue normally then there is no effect. But I have the possibility to click to "accept the draw", then I have to "click here". What does it mean? How can I "accept a draw"- don´t I have to accept all draws of my opponent? Is it irreversible if I click the option "click here"?

Originally posted by AhOldboyYou do not have to accept an offer of a draw. If you want to carry on playing, just do so, especially if you think you have a chance to win. However in these circumstances I use 'Message your opponent' to say that I want to play on for a few moves at least.

it is also worth noting that a draw against an opponent with a similar rating will result in either a small or no rating change.
drawing opponents who have a smaller rating will result in a loss of points
similarly drawing opponents who have a larger rating will result in a gain of rating points.

Originally posted by AhOldboyA draw is when you agree that there is little or no possibility of either of you checkmating the other, so you end the game peacefully. If you're in a tournament, each of you receives 1/2 point. A draw has little to no effect on your rating, unless you are playing against an opponent who is much higher or lower rated. You should not accept a draw if you think that there is a possibility of you winning the game.
