haugesund obviously has alot of games right now, and just wanted to cash in with the draw
I left Crafty analysing it overnight and the end position looked like black had a winning endgame.

Black clearly has the better position... but its only good if the black player knows how to use that position to create a win. I think he offered a draw because he wasn't sure how to proceed with the attack, and since you have the higher rating he didn't want to take the chance at blundering and giving away the advantage.
