White to play. Who is better? Is it a draw?

Well, white is a good pawn up, has a minor piece which seems quite good despite the colour of the squares of the pawns, but it is not entirely obvious how to progress. I guess white is winning with some hard work. (No engines consulted to give this opinion, as may be clear).

What's the story?

This was an OTB game with my pal Tony this past Saturday night. I was white and thought I could win, but it was sorta late and we were both tired so I thought I might just offer a draw.  It went like this 1. Rd8+, Kf7  2. Rd7+, Kg8 and i offered the draw and he took it. The computer says that white is up 2.7 points,

But like I said, it was late and we were both tired.

Tony has been winning most games lately and since I won the game before I was happy to call it a draw and go home.

And BTW, complimenting my photography is acceptable.

Nice Pic!

ha ha, Thanks Walt !

I think white win

Yea white was ahead.

And if you are going to use a photo and transpose that to game notation and game strategy, well you should have an intellectual audience to do that. Check! We have that covered!
