Game forfeit after draw agreed
I recently tried offering a draw in one of my corr games. I was almost out of time, but my opponent had agreed to it according to my email notifications.
 
However, when I was logged in, I found that it had given me "You have forfeited" and scored my game as a loss.
 
smjg 1550 1544 -6
grandpa13 1396 1402 6
 
This seems absurd. Once a draw has been mutually agreed, the result should be finalised, shouldn't it?
 
If there's going to be any time limit for picking up my opponent's acceptance of a draw, then the 10-day single move limit is enough by itself. It makes little sense to me that the moves-in-days clock should continue to run in this window of time.

Re: Game forfeit after draw agreed
This is actually a labeling problem when ending the game. Although it says the game forfeited, the actual result was a draw. You can see this in the Corr Game Results area. The game shows as a draw and the rating changes are correct for a draw. We will get the labeling problem fixed ASAP. Thanks for the report.
