Game # 193788. I was offered a draw by ketchuplover in this one, which I greedily accepted. I felt after the rooks were exchanged, the knight could not stop the 3 pawns. If anyone with any serious talent could comment on this position I would appreciate it.

I think you were right to take the draw: the pawns are not stoppable. Your opponent didn't see any other option than Kf5 on your Rg8+. My opinion is that both Rg7 and Kf6 (to play Rf7 after Rf8+) wins for white. If after Rg7, black plays Re8 then b5 already advances one step. Exchanging rooks makes it only more clear.

There are many possible reasons ketchuplover gave you a draw. One possibility is he just analyzed the position wrong. that is exactly why I don't analyze I just win 🙂
