Answers.Text: What if the move Player A made was to checkmate Player B?  I assume that would be covered under "the game is concluded in some other way" and thus the draw would automatically be rescinded?

Body: <p>Scenario: It's Player A's move, and without executing a move he offers a draw. Player B replies "Please make a move". Player A then makes a move, where upon player B says: "Ok, I accept". Is it now possible for Player A to say that the draw offer no longer stands, and was in fact nullified when it was not originally accepted during the period between the offer and the move that Player A did?</p>
