I offer a draw when I have to leave my phone/computer
I'm not sure what kind of games OP has been seeing - with the people I play, draw offers happen pretty much only if we see a forced draw, or if the position is dead equal or known to be a drawing endgame. I've only ever been offered a couple draws by some bad faith players in fast time formats, and I'm pleased to report that only happened on chess.com.
"I'm gonna make him a draw offer, he can't refuse."
A draw is usually offered :
1. When you're stuck in a perpetual check, and/or a forced 3 fold repetition scheme
2. When you both agree that a closed game is so closed, it will never lead to anyone's win
3. when both opponents (usually of good level) agree that this particular game leads to a draw
For as long as I know these are the "realistic" draw offer possibilities.

Well, I had a draw recently with a friend. It was a draw position. She and I both knew it was a draw position, and we both knew that the other knew it was a draw position. Additionally, we had made repeat moves twice in a row. It felt nice to agree to a draw, as compared to being forced into one.
sometimes it is a waste of time playing on because nobody will win-nothing to do with what iy says in the article
Rubbish. “Never”, like in playing on in a theoretical drawn endgame. Btw, why the f don’t people resign anymore when they are down a queen (or, say more than two pawns)? Do you see Karpov or Fischer play on when the evaluation is minus 14. “Fighting chess” hehehe. Come in guys, can we have some manners please
This article is just a piece of attention-seeking self-promotion by a pro player/bs artist. His stooges pop up saying how wonderful his blog is. The content of the article is naive bs, harmful to inexperienced players.
i mean i think that this blog has a lot of discussion
