We play over the board. A draw offer was accepted by Diepeveen and Diep´s move Rgf8+ was not executed over the board, so it´s not part of the game. If Diepeveen would have executed the move on the board, it would have meant a refusal of the draw offer. This interpretation of the rules has been confirmed by the arbiter(s). Theo
