    Instead of offer draw, hit claim draw?

    Nimzo's right, you've played more than a 3-fold repetition in that game, so next time it is your turn to move you can claim the draw. Perhaps along with a little message to your opponent about benefits of good etiquette in chess! 😉

    FAQ tells you can claim a draw by threefold rep. But does not tell you how to do it.

    There is a chance that the other lad too did know the threefold rep rule.
    Between them they have played 314 games with only 7 draws.

    The OP was involved in a 3 fold rep before, Game 7482613 moves 63-71
    but it may not have been him who claimed it or perhaps it was just agreed.

    (His opponent in that game 'kqnbrp' has played 149 games with only
    3 draws so there is a chance he too was not aware of the 3 fold rep rule.)

    it's prohibited to assist a game in progress, no?

    Pointing out that there is a claim draw button isn't exactly helping the person play chess. It is helping a person to know how the site works.

    I didn't know about the claim draw option either, so I'm glad this topic was brought up. I've had a game where this would have been helpful.

    and just to clarify the rules - you can't claim a draw just because there was a 3 fold repetition at some point in the game. It has to be right after the third (or more) moves of repetition.
