My opponent offered me a draw in this game, and I accepted. Did I have a chance to win this game? Or did I do the right thing by accepting the draw?

Originally posted by ark13Agreed, with the remaining pieces on the board, there's no way for either player to infiltrate a piece or king behind the pawn structure. White's slightly better off but Black would have to play something stupid for there to be a result.

Originally posted by WildfireToasty's right. You missed a winning move there. You pick up a rook, toast a pawn and with that nice file for your rook, it's game over.

Originally posted by toastycorrect he should have won but took it to a drawn position insstead. You could have kept playing though it would have been kings moving back and forth.
Once the bishop was swapped for the knight, the game looks pretty drawn, you cannot do anything. However, when you still had a bishop you could have won. Instead of 30 Bxf6, you could have just played 30 Rxh7, because the knight is "pinned" against the other rook.
