puzzle for lower rates

One for the trooper 🙂
The puzzle is meant for 1400-1500's and below.Maybe 1600's too,can't really judge it.

You're playing black.White,a 1900+ rated player,has just played Nf4 and offered a draw.
What do you do?Accept?Decline?And why?

I would decline and take the pawn.

Could you also hide your answer,please? 🙂

No. 😳

its a given black will queen

Here's the solution.Should've included that in the first post.

No.
1... Nxg2+ 2.Kf2? Nxf4 3.Kf3 h3! 4.Kg3

The pawn is protected by the knight.
The knight cannot be taken because then the pawn queens.
The black king will now cross over to help.
White is helpless.

Nevermind =p

...Nxg2+!!, Nxg2

black's pawn can't be stopped

Thanks for thinking of us lowly "teenagers" BTW 🙂

Being a teenager is more fun 🙂

Black's pawn queens if draw is declined and black makes the right moves.

You're playing that 1900 guy again.This time you're down a piece.What do you do?
White to play.
