I'm currently playing a game where I'm material behind. However I do not think my oppontent can force a win. There has currently been 41 moves since a capture/pawn move. It's his/her move.

How do I claim this draw? When (s)he plays the 50th half move it'll then be my turn to play. Do I just press the claim draw button or what?

I have never done this but I think if you click claim draw and it is a valis claim it will be allowed and if its not valid it will reject. Just try it. You have nothing to lose!

and it is 50 full moves, i.e. if you think you have a valid claim in Game 1736632 it is move 103 so you still have 30 moves to go and a lot can happen by then.

Pressing the claim draw button is the correct option. However as pointed out it is 100 half moves (50 full moves).

He still has 30 moves to find the way so plenty of time to go down a few wrong tracks.
