    This is a game I played in a tournament. As the title says, nobody actually wants to draw.

    Ke2?? was a blunder.  If black played Qd3+ Kf3 (Ke1 Qb4#) Qd1+ Kg2 Qg4+ the trade of queens is forced, you aren't getting a mate (you can play Rxh7, you aren't getting a mate or perpetual) and you are dead lost.  The perpetual threat wouldn't work in this line either because of simply Qxh7, which is won.

    Kg2 is unclear to me.

    Still a great game full of very accurate play by both sides!
