no disrespect but I wonder why you did not take the draw at any moment after at least move 38. you are rated 2173 so you must have seen the draw coming. what is the fun to play on to the lone king?

Good question. That would have been the right thing to do. But, my opponent's behavior with the draw offers, combined with my frustration that I had almost certainly missed an opportunity to win in moves 20-23, made me angry. Having missed what seemed like a clear win, I was also somewhat suspicious of my opponent (I didn't find anything suspicious in postgame analysis, however). He was one of those players who uses almost the same amount of time for every move from move 2 on.

Playing angry is bad, of course.

My opponent started offering a draw every move begining at move 23. By move 38, I was angry at his unwillingness to play out a balanced position where he had good drawing chances, and even more at his poor manners. Also, I had used no more than my increment getting to that point, while he had used over fourteen minutes plus increment. The time control was 15 10.

Seems pretty clear after move 30. I know some opposite color bishops have winning chances, but I don't think this is one of them.

Had his first draw offer come then, and had the clocks been reasonably close at that point, this thread would not exist.

I could have made that more clear.

Jhelix, don't you think you're spamming? You posted it in DP, although it's relevant here. And yes, it was premove.

After 50.b7+, this game is a dead draw. However, my principled opponent tried to beat me on the clock. It is worth noting that the iPad app makes it harder to offer/claim draw without losing on time.
