I do not dignify your draw offer by noticing it and instead play 3. a5

Nice. bxa5 forced and then 4.b5 axb5 (forced) 5.cxb5 Ke7 6.b6 Kd7 (or Kd8) and now the well known 7.g5! wins (a4? 8.b7!).

Sorry, which forum were you looking for? You seem to have posted in the wrong one.

re-read your own thread. Was answered before:
1.d5 exd5 2.exd5 cxd5 3.a5 was your own input to aginis's claim for draw, and I replied: nice bxa5 forced, 4.b5 ... etc....
