Look at this game and see if you can find improvments for either side? My oppenant thinks I let him off with an easy draw offer, and I agree with him. I saw phantom threats against my weak rook on h5.

I'm not an expert but it doesn't look like there was anything wrong with your opening.; very sound and put you up in position and material by move 23. One thing I noticed in this position was 2 black pieces stuck in the corner. You could have prevented 25...Ra7 with 24. Re8.

Originally posted by LeaadasOpening looked very strong, your major blunder seemed to be 27.c3?? which allowed the draw, I greatly preferred your position - I think you should have exchanged the rooks and played Qg3 when it seems to me that white is just easily winning.

Here's the specific variation:
Instead of 27.c3?? play 27.Rxd7+ Nxd7 28.Qg3+ Qxg3 29.hxg3 and white should win.
