The Site Rules are not very Clear. Do I have to Offer a Draw Before I Make my Move OR after I make my Move ?

I think you have to click the "offer draw" button and then submit your move. Your opponent will see your latest move and will also see that you have offered a draw. They can then accept the draw offer and end the game or decline the offer by making their next move.

I have not offered a draw for ages but I think this is correct.

I know that once you have submitted a move you will no longer have an option to offer a draw until it is again your turn to move.

We used to have "opponent's decision" shown on the MyGames page, but I don't believe that is the case now, it's just another "waiting" item. I think it shows up somewhere if you do a mouse-over but I can't remember where.

1.Click the offer draw button
2.Make a move.
A message should appear "a draw will be offered with this move"
3.Submit the move.
In your OPPONENTS inbox instead of of saying my move it'll say my decision in a different colour.
It's them up to your opponent.If he agrees it'll say game drawn in red in your games folder.If he refuses the draw he'll make a move as normal.
You can offer a draw as many times as you wish during a game.
