You don't offer a draw if you're 300 points lower rated and an exchange down, just because you moved your Queen back to the square it just came from. If you're 300 points lower rated, you better have a winning position to offer a draw. Even in a drawn position imo it's on the higher rated player to offer the draw, but i may be too strict on etiquette here.
2. resigning when it's not your move. It interferes with my thinking process and messes up the scoresheet.
We're two pees in a pod my friend. I also hate when people (usually juniors) capture peices by taking the capturing peice and slamming it in a 90 mph collision with my peice. Hey, chess sets don't grow on trees, can you please remove the captured peice first and then place your peice on the square, christ.
Also when we both have under a minute left you can't start your move until mine is completed (that means ive hit my clock!), I routinely see this broken by just about everyone (including US Women's Champions)
