Previously it was not clear that a draw had been offered along with a move, but now My Games and the board itself will clearly indicate that a draw was offered with the last move.

Sadly the only thing that shows up in my mailbox is 'You lost a game'. 😢

Hey look on the bright side, you've won a few more than you've lost, not everyone can say that! 😉

Yeah, rub salt in the wound, "friend". 😠
In my defense. quite a few of these are timed-out on those occasions I stop playing for months at a time.

I don't suppose there is any chance that a {=} comment/marker could be added to the move in the pgn when a draw offer is made? It can be helpful sometimes when reviewing the game afterwards to know when a draw offer was made.

This has been suggested in "Site Ideas" multiple times… Maybe we should make a new start?

If this is added there is one caveat - right now draw offers are not recorded with a move, so any future update would not apply to all historical games.

Thanks for considering. To get round this I have often sent an in game message on the move with the draw offer so that it would show in the game history. I believe doing so has distracted some opponents who have replied that they would accept but have not clicked the accept draw button. I appreciate this is very much a first world problem.

Opps sorry about that, I must have been looking at different stats.
