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
There'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
@wolfgang59said Not 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.
Sorry for the misleading comment.
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.

His 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.
@ogbsaid 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.
@ogbsaid are you sure? .so after a position happens three times, there's a button to click to claim a draw?
On 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.

Does anyone know what happens when a player just refuses to accept a draw???
