Against guys my own weight it depends on the tournament situation- the last year or so I played almost exclusively in closed fide stuff where nothing was on the line but your rating so I was more inclined to accept a draw ...[text shortened]... just assuming that when I sit down to play I will have to "prove" I can win/draw a position.
I can see not accepting the draw unless the position is trivial
I can't remember exactly what move I offered a draw in this game, somewhere around 27 or 28 if I recall correctly. Due to my double pawn on the C file, my opponent felt he had the advantage. He should have taken the draw as he played the endgame very poorly.
