Emne: 'Offer Draw' button

Does anyone out there share my feelings that there should not be an 'Offer Draw' button on any Pente game pages, since a draw is (virtually) impossible in Pente?

Fencer, would it be difficult to implement?

Of course a *tie* in a two-game match is quite possible (and often likely), but that's a different story. ;-)

humbug!

you don't have to use it - please don't bother
to oppress your inessential restrictions to free players.

This problem was already discussed several months ago. Although draw is really impossible in some games, the button will stay for all games because there can be more reasons to agree with a draw [for example, one player knows that he would lose due to a timeout and his opponents agrees with a draw to solve this situation by making both players happy].

Ok, I was mainly interested in other people's opinions. That's why I made my previous post. My main concern is that the button could be abused in a tournament to allow players to artificially manipulate the standings and advnace when one of them shouldn't. I've seen this happen at IYT. But since we have the S-B tiebreak points, I'm assuming that couldn't happen here and that, even if it did, that Fencer or the tournament creator would fix the situation. :-)

Thanks,
