Draw?

Sort:

This is my first draw in here.. i know that i could have won this.. but i saw the game again and again and my head keep on saying "draw"

I want to know opinions bout this.

I thought that you could have won it.  I was kind of surprised that you agreed to a draw.  His pawn stucture was horrible.  Just my opinion.

That pawn on the d column was really bothering me.. because is alone..

i just didn't figure it out how to win..

I would be playing for a win here as black:

1. Whites d-pawn is blockaded and therefore a liabilty

2. You can make progress on the Kingside with moves like h5...f5....g5

for instance 34 Kd3 Bb6 35 Bb2 h5... white has two weaknesses, the kingside and the d-pawn... his King cannot be in two places at once. It look like to me that once you've tied his pieces down to the defence of the d-pawn you can breakthrough with your kingside pawn majority.

 

certainly you can't lose, and should play on.

My end game is not very good, but I agree with the others and would have played on too.  Perhaps you were tired???

the thing is that is a draw already, and i offered it..

And i think MartinLS' post suits this time.

Thanks about the comments.
