Was this game a draw or could I have won?

Sorry mate, I'm not seeing a game, just the place-holder. Could you try reposting?

That endgame is completely won. You have majorities on both sides. I think it'd be won even if you were only ONE pawn up. I might look into how the game might have gone, if you want...

Yeah, I am not that great in endgame theory. That would be appreciated.

Ok, here's an example of what you could have done...


Basically, use your rook to support the creation of a passed pawn on the kingside, where the king's are too far away to have any effect.

This is a clear and easy win for white.
