I found this engame to be interesting, the game was drawn, but i don't know why black drew the game, it seems to have a better endgame, white rook seem to be locked, defending the pawns.

Who's move was it? you said black drew, does that mean white has just moved and offered the draw which was accepted? Personally it looks very close to me, I can't see that black has meaningful advantage. But maybe a highly rated player might think differntly?

it is white to move, black offered the draw and white accepted, in the last post i didn't specify that well. i found this to be a complex endgame.

Now that I know who's move it is I have a better look, I think black might be a bit better off than I first thought. But as I have a hard enough time working out my real positions I don't have any spare RAM to get on top of this, but I would rather be black than white. I think as white I would accept the draw, I'm not sure as black though, I think it would depend on my tournament position and relative strength of the opponent.

It's too close for me to call, but it wouldn't suprise me if someone came onto the thread and said the position is a win for black or a draw, but it would suprise me if they gave it as a win for white (but I've been badly wrong before)

i've got the same opinion, black would have won if white had played a bad move, otherwise it's probably a draw, but i'm not sure.
