Do I do right to accept the draw?

This has been bugging me ever since I accepted. x(

Your rooks stopped your opponents king from getting to the other side of the board... your king on the other hand could have. I think that advantage might have been enough to promote a pawn, but I didn't actually analyze this line. You had nothing to lose by playing another 5 or 6 moves... but it might still have drawn.

It seems rather drawish to me at first glance. But hey!, I'm just a patzer!

Hate to make it more painful but I just analyzed it. The far wingpawn was yours. I think you had a win.

Always think twice when the higher rated guy asks for a draw. But it looked pretty much a draw with a first glance.

Do you use fritz to analyze games?

I just got ChessMaster8000 and analyzed a couple of games but I don't know if that's anygood. Do you know if CM makes good game analysis?

White definately has the advantage and is material up (about a pawn). The Rooks can be very strong if black is careless and the white king should find it easy to get into the game making a king side pawn break a distinct possibility.

I would formulate a plan around h3 - g4 - f5 - e6, etc and Kf2 - e3, etc. Black will find it very hard to get active counterplay.

Having said that the ending will not be particularly easy and with 3 pieces vs 2 the opportunity for tactics from black that wins the material back with interest is always there. It you don't feel confident with your end game play a draw is a fair result but if you don't feel confident you do need to play out these games.
