Is this a draw?

The other day I was playing a friendly OTB game against a poor guy who thinks I am his rival but loses 75% of the games we play. In the game, we finally got the following position, where none of us could find a way to make progress, so we agreed a draw. Would you be kind and examine the position to see if I could have grinded my way to the victory?

Which move do you suggest, then?

With 20 options it's a hard choice.

I really went to see if they were 20.

Congratulations. grin.png

Stockfish gives +0.2 to white, so maybe I should have tried and fight for the win. It's not a huge advantage, but at least I had something.

It was your decision to click on the thread. So it's your fault, not mine.

I recommend you put your joke threads in Off-topic.

Ok kingofshedinjas, you should have played on as I think you had opportunities, your opponent needs to be precise if he wants to draw.

It wasn't a joke. It was meant to inspire a discussion on whether chess is drawn with perfect play or not. The fact that most of you didn't understand the purpose of the thread is not my problem, it's yours.

I understand.

It is a draw until one proves it wrong.
