Game Id 13781282
This game can go on forever and ever, always as a draw, but the opponent refuses the draw offer, and continues playing, on and on, with no intentions of accepting a draw result?
How can I force him or her to accept the draw offer, or if not then how do I end the game, without just resigning it?
Anyone know? Thanks

@brrr saidThere's only certain situations where you can claim a draw(King v King and Knight for example)

If your position is not one of these situations there's nothing you can do I'm afraid.
I believe Russ does a cull of inactive games periodically so you may have to wait for that

@venda saidNot so.

The usual rules of chess apply.
You may declare a draw after 50 consecutive moves without a pawn move or piece capture.
You may declare a draw after the third repetition of a position.

@wolfgang59
Besides that, why do you have over 150 games active anyway? That is nuts.

I know all about repeated positions etc
I was thinking that situations such as where only Kings are left on the board draws happened automatically.
Thinking about it further,I don't think that does happen.

@brrr saidHis rating suggests he doesn't recognize it's a draw, so I suggest playing on for another 10 or 20 moves. He might realise at that point he can't win, or possibly become frustrated and make a game losing move.

I've offered draws that were refused and then went on to win... it happens.
@sonhouse saidNo Brrr.

@ogb saidIt is here
It's my understanding that there aren't any chess websites that allow a draw claim after the three move rule. Just isn't written into the code.

@ponderable saidare you sure? .so after a position happens three times, there's a button to click to claim a draw?

@ogb saidOn the Website:directly below the "submit move" button is a button to "offer draw" and one to "Claim draw" you can click on that on each and every move. If the conditions for claiming a draw are met the draw will be declared and the game ended.

On the phone you have to look up the menue in the upper right to find that function.
