Player leaving the game

Why I have to claim victory if my oponent leave the game? Of course I'm playing to win the game. And even worst: Why is there a declare it draw option? It makes no sense. Please change this or at least include the option "automaticly win after my oponet leave" in the set up.

The draw option exists in case your opponent disconnects in a dead drawn or winning (or even unclear) position, and you decide a win would be unfair. I do use it sometimes, or just wait longer to see if they reconnect.

That said, having the option to automatically claim a win isn't a bad idea, since some people prefer to always claim a win.

It can't be like that because some people think that lets be kind so they do draw or wait and some do claim victory like i play mostly bullet or blitz so I wait for my opponenet if they leave the game and so I gain advantage because i get my rating as it shows black or white time out othervise if you play like rapid or classical you can't wait because its too long and so some players do claim victory and they don't get that much rating.
