Simply put, you are easily winning and took a draw - he offered the draw hoping you'd take it. You're 2 pawns up with a strong attack and white has no compensation.
Played against a 2034, Draw?!?
Sort:
Ne3 looks pretty devastating to me, since 27.Qe2 Ne3 28.Nd1 Nxg2 29.Qxg2 f3 seems to win. If 28.Bxe3, then fxe3 29. Nd1 f4 undoubles your pawns, gives you a strong passer, and seems to keep the attack. Could be missing something, but it looks like your opponent had a really bad day and saw that he was almost hopelessly lost.
The straight up 27...f3 could be even better, dunno.
Harlanikin - I felt as though I was winning but wasnt to sure? he is the more experienced player. and Im only sitting at a rating of 1375 so I took the safe way. But could u be more clear how I was easily winning the beginning to me feel still rocky
Woodkiller - What if he decided t trade queens to get an open file for the rooks?

Not really in the mood for analysis right now. My point was more a general one in that intuitively I can tell that white doesn't have counterplay. Also, was it move 25 or 26 that the draw was agreed to? Anyhow, Woodkiller's analysis seems right.
Of course, if I was vs. a 2000+ player, I might not trust myself either, but, in terms of being objective, with good play you'll win. Sorry for not analysing now, but I don't really wish to as I said before.
Usually a player has to make a move and then offer draw, here white offered a draw on your turn. Strange that white didn't want to go for 27.cxd5 gxf3 28.dxc6 1-0
the last move for all Pawn move G5-G4 was the move I was thinking of playing and No accepting his Draw C4 was the move that I accepted the draw. G4 was my thought what if I didnt accept it.

While 26. g4 wasn't ideal, this line still gives promise - 28. gxf2+ 29. Kg1 f3 and those passed pawns are dangerous and material is even.
Ok I played against this strong opponent at this tournament. He was rated 2034, Around move 26 he offered me a draw... Was he being nice? or did I have something going on that could have promised me a win. I took the draw cause either way I was going to get rating points. But all input please, im open to all comments, concerns , questions what ever.
