Who offered the draw before it was accepted? Can Monroi device record draw offer as is stipulated by Laws of the FIDE?
Congratulations to Daniel Rensch . I was praying for him to get his title today. Congratulations !
Congratulations to Spice for continous help to US players!
Spice is cool!
Congratulations to both of you, especially for new IM.
Congratulations to Daniel Rensch .
It was a really hard fought draw with very sharp play from both sides, although white in the end could still have continued for some time it looked nonetheless rather drawish.
Respect to both players.
Well Ray just missed it, but nobody doubts that he’ll get his last GM norm very soon, probably this year. I’m very glad that Rensch has his title in the bag now, it’s something he’s worked really hard for. Congrats to both players!
‘Can Monroi device record draw offer as is stipulated by Laws of the FIDE?’
No. That’s why it’s not so popular and FIDE approved.
‘It was a really hard fought draw’
Hard fought squabbles. Noone understood why its draw in the end.
Yes, the monroi has a place on it to record draw offers. I click it every time someone offers a draw. It asks you if white or black offered a draw.

Susan, you are smoking hot. What a pose!
