Why don't we have "Draw" option ?!?!?

It takes a lifetime to complete a game when you know it will be a draw.

Think they could give us an option where one player offers a draw to the other one. This draw could be accepted (the game ends as a Draw) or not (they keep on moving until the end)

It would make Tournaments faster and games much more interesting!

What do you say ?

I must say, I agree! I don't know about other games, but in four in a row, the game frequently ends in a draw, at least among the better players, yet the two players have to completely fill up the board before the game ends.

Also, I have brought this up before in an earlier post, but only one person replied and nothing was ever done about it.

Here's the earlier post.

Perhaps you could contact Richard Malaschitz directly about desired improvements; his email is at the bottom of this page. Except for him, none of the readers of this forum can do anything about it...

Righ David, I'll do that.

But I think it would be nice for him to know we are "united" on this request (that's why I have started this forum).

Anyway, tks for the idea !

Exactly I had resign a game where I had 3x the points. Just to end it like that seems wrong. Give us a draw button Por Favor!!
