Game 1012781 This game was drawn. I was wondering what your thoughts on it are. Just really wanting a game analysis. Should it of been drawn?

I am not an analyst, but if I were you I would have played the game out. Two rooks against one rook, a bishop and a pawn is not a certain win, but a higher chance of winning in my opinion. But then again, it is not a very bad choice to draw.

If I had been Black I would not have accepred a draw yet. Although White has a distant passed pawn, his bishop is the wrong colour for the queening square - I would have played on a bit.

Black had it won, IMO.

Will type analysis later if somebody doesn't beat me to it. To busy now, unfortunately.

No, it shouldn't have been drawn. White's position is extremely difficult. If you can exchange a rook, it's over (not quickly but eventually). 32....Rb8 should unravel his position nicely by forcing the exchange or you get the passed pawn.

Rb8 seems a good starting move. But how does this 'force the exchange or get the passed pawn' after Rd2?

Too true. I didn't look at that. Hmm, difficult, but I feel Black must have the advantage but if only he can get the exchange.

Here is a line that could serve as a starter to find improvements on both sides:

32. ... Rb8 33.Rd2 Rc4 the rook has activity both horizontally and vertically on this square.
34.h3 white tries to maintain status quo with the pieces
34. ... Rb3! 35.Re2 Kf5 the king can safely come in, the black pieces are tied
36.Rd2 Ke4 37.g4 otherwise black would play h4 (but how bad is that?)
37. ... Rb5 38.Kg3?! (perhaps staying in the back e.g. Kf1 is better)
38. ... h5 39.gxh5 Rg4+! 40.Kh2 (Kh4 loses to Kf3+) Kf3 looks promising for black.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. I guess I shouldnt of drawn but owell. He was a higher rated player so I figured might as well the game kind of seemed alittle hopless but I see what you are saying about exchanging rooks and thanks for the lines Mephisto I will look into them.
