could not be counted for the official statistics as the survey was open to ACP Members + chess players having the FIDE title of International Master (IM or WIM) or International Grandmaster (GM or WGM).
Nevertheless we wish to thank everybody who used time to express his opinion.

A draw offer should be	% ALL	% 2600+	% 2500+	% <2500
allowed at any stage of the game (current FIDE rules)	43	42	40	45
allowed after 30 moves of the game are completed	17	19	22	11
allowed after 40 moves of the game are completed	17	13	13	23
allowed after 50 moves of the game are completed	3	3	3	4
not allowed at all (Corsican rule)	18	23	21	15
abstain	1	0	1	1
A draw offer, at the stage where it is allowed, should imply a time penalty in the case it is rejected	% ALL	% 2600+	% 2500+	% <2500
yes	12	10	10	14
no	82	87	86	77
abstain	6	3	4	9

% ALL - percent of all votes
% 2600+ - percent of votes by players rated at least 2600
% 2500+ - percent of votes by players rated at least 2500
% <2500 - percent of votes by players rated below 2500
