Is this game I played, is it really a draw?

I don't think it's a draw. Black has a huge material advantage after Qxe6 or Bxe6.

Oh thanks.I would have won?

Avatar of mwill

Yup. Prolly why he offered you a draw.

I put the position into Chessmaster and (on really low time, so it can't be 100% accurate) it says that if both sides play perfectly black wins in 34.

Yeah black is up almost 10 points of material in the next move. With open rook files and whites king is poorly protected. Without any major blunders i'd definitly say black wins.

yes  QxN and being up a piece should easily win!

 

TBH i thought white was the 900 rated player! White played very poorly in my opinion. Well done!

Generally if a player of a much higher rating offers you a draw it means he has messed up big! Was this an otb match or a chess.com game?

Avatar of invaderX17

It was neither. I wasn't a chess.com member until February. I also think it's pretty insane that he offered me a draw.

a draw in this situation in frowned upon by many players..there is a lot of the game left, black has material advantage and the bishop pair which is an advantage since it is an open position

what other ways of playing chess  are there if it wasnt OTB (over the board) or internet (if not chess.com)
