Jayesh you clearly just read the title and immediately scrolled down to comment.

Anyone who clearly sees a draw and a chance for a win really has two legitimate choices.  Both of those choices are honorable.  I could now spend a lot of words explaining what I would choose to do and could make a claim that what I would advise is what a sensible player "should" do.  Nothing I would say could take away from what I see as the reality I expressed in my first two sentences.

It's the best move in this position. That's not a question of honor.

if you would be 100 times in this position and wouldn't go for the draw by repetition, you would lose at least 90 games or so. drawing here is the only right move to do and by drawing, you also annoy your opponent who thinks he/she is the best player in the world so why wouldn't you draw here? ^_^

I think he is made of bullier material and not because of his superiority he is like that.

I wonder if they've seen this and are just lurking... Haha

Btw: what I really like about that conversation is the OPs opponent saying "You're going to force a draw because you can't figure out how to win?" immediately after he failed to figure out how to win.
