Every game I lose I lose because I cocked up.

I didn't realise until now that I should have been claiming a draw.

Where exactly can I find that in the FIDE rules as I can only find rules on things like stalemate, repetition, 50 move rule and such like things.

P.S. I often make a mistake on my first ...[text shortened]... play 1.g4. I have got so tired of making that mistake that I'm going to have to try 1. ... g5.

In that last sentence his is talking from his opponents perspective
