If you are a pawn up against a player more that 10 rating points higher than you, offer a draw as he will probably outplay you in the ending.
When you are the higher rated player and see that the game is a draw, look disgusted and offer a draw! Then fake looking nervous. Your weaker opponent will think he/she has a win and over extend themselves. Works most of the time against weaker opponents. 😵

This pawn chain is actually proving quite good (at the moment anyway)...
