What happens if I have laid out a series of conditional moves, but during that sequence my opponent offers a draw.

Is the conditional move still played or, ignoring the offer, our is it paused while I decide.

Well yes, it must happen and I'd imagine the game goes into a form of 'holding mode' the moment the draw is offered and the queued conditional move is disregarded..it has to be . Even if the conditional move is correct, the game is effectively held over unless, of course, you've ticked the 'accept draw if offered' ...I shall have to try this in a friendly game 🙂

The draw offer is ignored unless, when you were setting up the conditional moves, you ticked the "accept draw if offered" option.

Nah, my answer was definitive, yours was a little wishy-washy 😛

The Baron had decreed a 72/18 acceptance split between the two answers given. I'm not saying which goes to which answer though :p

No, there is no holding mode. The conditional move is made and draw declined unless the "accept draw if offered" is selected.
