Why did you take a draw with two pieces up ?

that was an easy win for you 🙂

Maybe he was looking so many moves ahead that he could see the endgame blunders that he was going to make. 😉

Not excluded.

Why didn't you start trading pieces, way to early to agree on a draw.

Why did you accept that draw? You could have easily won that game. Also by the way, move 17 or so, why didn't you take his pawn with a discovered attack? You did move the knight away, but why not take the extra pawn? Anyway, I'm not an expert but I thought that was a well played game.

I am confused also, accepting the draw offer = ???

I made up for that game in blitz, this shows my endgame prowess, at least I think so...

14. h3 is weird move. It leads to strange complications. Better was retreat of that bishop to d2 or e3 square.

Weird? That wasn't weird that was a blunder. 😕

Bf4 is what I would have played Be3 then Bxf3 and the kings pawn cover is screwed because the queen can't take back since the bishop is in the way. Bd2 drops a pawn and gets in the way of a rook to d1 after 14...Bxf3 15.Qxf3 Bxd4 and now if the bishop was on f4 Rfd1 could be played to get the pawn back with a better position to boot. With blacks level of play I would expect this line. 14.Bf4 Bxf3 15.Qxf3 Bxd4 16.Rfd1 Bxb2 17.Rab1 Qb5 18.c3! and black is lost.
