In chess, the offer of a draw must be made AFTER playing a move.

As it is at the moment, it's possible to get a draw offer and after refusing it, the player who made the offer has to play a move.
But that's just the wrong way round. FIRST play a move, and subsequently offer a draw (in real life even BEFORE you press the clock).

It would be nice if this could be adjusted.

They should have it that you click "offer draw", then make your move, then have the draw offer go through to your opponent.

You don't want a situation where you have to click "offer draw? yes/no" after every move you make. Nor should you be allowed to offer a draw on your opponent's clock.

There might be an interaction with game-wide elements. Chess is not (and should not) be a priority on BGA so its unlikely they would alter something to meet the needs of players. I'm always a little curious why people do play Chess on BGA (genuinely curious as to judgmentally curious)?
