White has just moved Qe2 and offers a draw with the comment:
"looks impossible for any of us to break through now"
Black rejects the draw offer. Plays Be7 and comments:
"I disagree, your structure is full of holes. This is one of these positions where my former teacher would say "it's only a matter of time"."
What do you think?

Thanks, Elmyr and Ragwort
two very interesting continuations which both have the merit that they open up the position for black. however, not sure if it's enough to win for black in either case.
Black continued Be7 which I found was a very strange way to exploit the holes in my position because after a bishop exchange on e7 both d3 and Bxg4 make little sense for black now. game was easily drawn after a few more moves.
Originally posted by ElmyrI was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't black trade a pawn for the exchange?
After Qe2 can't black just play d3 and win the exchange?
I wasn't going to reply since my lowly rating means there is usually something better than what I see.
