I seem a good idea is to have the possibility to offer draw _after_ doing move. What about?

I don't know.

I belive in OTB chess you can only make a draw offer when it is your turn to move (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Sending the draw offer along with a move saves time should your opponent decides to decline the offer, if you only send the draw offer and your opponent says no you will have to go back to the board and make your move, it makes sense to me to do both together to avoid interruptions.

hi Miguel. I'll try to explain me better (soory for my bad english). Offering draw is either possible making move (infact if it is your turn to move and you offer draw, your opponent could ask you to move before choose if it's draw or go on). Yesterday, I want to offer draw to my opponent, and, after I did my move, I searched for a button for this but... there was not! After, I realized that I had to select THAT button before making move. Obiouvsly, if I do not send a draw offer together with the move, my opponent could answer and the game goes on! :-)
However, I want to tank you again for this site.

Ok, I understand your request now. The problem I see in implementing it is that your post-move draw offer must be sent immediately, it really does not make sense for a player to offer a draw a day after the move was made, so it seems sort of complicated to define what 'immediately' means.

What I will do is think about relocating the draw checkbox so that it is more visible. If you have any ideas let me know.

Thanks!

Miguel
