yeah, it was moderate... i got it first time

 

most people would see that and probably offer a draw because they would sacrafice the rook for the pawn and it would be insufficient material for mating

If it is black to play, he can win by queening. White to play is only a draw.

 

2...Kd2?? is the losing move and any bishop move on move 2 keeps the draw.

Weak play for black?  What if black plays 2... Be4.  Then it's a draw, right?
