A pathetic way to win a game

So you've 1 move away from being mated, here's how you can get out of it:

1. Wait a minute or so
2. Propose a draw
3. The opponent will see a YES or NO dialogue
4. He will assume that this is the usual "You're opponent has left" message and clicking YES claims the victory
5. You get to draw instead

I don't care enough about points to issue a feature request but honestly how sad that people do this.

I should say, a pathetic way to avoid a loss, rather than to win a game.
4. He will assume that this is the usual "You're opponent has left" message and clicking YES claims the victory

^^ This is why it's important to read a message before clicking on shiny check marks (not to mention "I agree to the terms and conditions" buttons)... Oops, I mentioned it.
