I haven't had a timeout game yet so perhaps shouldn't really have an opinion, yet I do!
I wonder if a timeout could allow us to choose win or draw. I know a lot of people might just take the win anyway but I would prefer to take the win if I felt I had an advantage in pieces or position, a draw if I don't and have the choice of resigning if I feel I would lose.
Just a thought

Originally posted by WheelyThis has been suggested before. I think the consensus was to make this an option as you suggested but not draw automatically.

Originally posted by AlcraFair point and since raising the question I have been in a situation where I could time out a game. It was not far enough into the game for me to make call on it. I waited a couple of days, sent a reimnder and then the guy made a move. I hope I win it 🙂
This question comes up perdiodically, and as always, my view is "take the win!"
I have had situations where my game load has made me blunder - I did not have recourse to complain then, and I do not expect my opponents to not play beyond the terms of our agreement.
