should i have offered a draw...or did i have a better chance than my opponent? I think i made a mistake.Game 1509195
Put it this way, you would have had to do something really really stupid to loose from the final position of this game. You would have had a passed pawn and an active rook, which should win really. Even if the ending is theoretically a draw (which i doubt it is), i'd be very very surprised if your opponent would have played the ending correctly. You definately should have played on. 🙂

Originally posted by marinakatombI think he may have had some trouble winning it, but it's nearly impossible for him to lose that game. I believe his opponent may have been able to hold the draw with accurate play, but I would've played on.

1. ...Rg8 2. Rg5 Rf8+! 3. Kg3 Rf3+! 4. Kg2 Rf4 and white doesn't get a passed pawn.
You should have played on though, because I'm not sure whether your opponent would have seen this.
