All this talk of draw offers.. The draw offer should just be banned until move 30/40. Too often it is used to distract the opponent, which is basically cheating in my book. Though this is not quite as unfair as intentionally distracting your opponent by e.g. constantly clearing your throat for all the tournament hall to hear. Wouldn't it be easier to just study a bit more chess rather resorting to underhand measures?
