Game 2690895

I think I got lucky being offered a draw here, or have I missed something? It got me through to the next round of a banded duel so was well happy with the offer!

I am rubbish at endgame play, that's why I thought I'd ask - I didn't like the positioning of the kings, I thought that he would be able to promote with both his king and rook working together. So instead of bothering to defend the other pawns, keep pushing the a-pawn and move his king over to the b-file?

Thanks for the comments, I would certainly have done my best to lose it, even if you threw a couple of extra pawns my way 😞
