After 35. ... h4, the position is very hard to win for a number of reasons:
1)It is a bishop of opposite coloured endgame
2)black's rook is on an open file while white's rook has no active square
3)white doesn't have any active plan
I think that's why the FM offered the draw.
I think the game looks like a draw for the very reasons outlined by heatsch, well played.
In fact the extra pawn could evaporate at any moment if Black plays Re1 followed by Rb1.
Well played! You kept your head, played the position and got the reward you deserved
Thanks for the comments guys. I felt like i had some sort of control through out the whole game, but i wasnt expecting a draw...I now see why he offered the draw...
opposite coloured bishops.. feel free to trade rooks and see hwere the game heads to.. a draw!You played great :)
Nice work! Du var flink her!
Hey guys. I played this game against a FM in a simul on ICC today...The time control was 45 minutes with 30 secs added pr. move. I played blac. On move 35 the FM offered me a draw and i accepted it. I was down a pawn here, and i would think this player would have beaten me if we continued. He had 11 minutes on his clock and i had 43 min...
What do you think? How did i do?
