I agree that Sergei should not blame others for his mistakes but I do not think
that offering a draw was a nice gesture from Frans.

It is clear that tiviakov wanted to win the game and offering a draw when you
can be sure that the opponent will not agree is not a nice gesture.
If he did not want to win on time he could wait and offer a draw only after
tiviakov does a mistake or after he see that tiviakov has only few seconds to
finish the game and it is clear that he has no chances to win.
