You should also stop going easy on people in chess games.
You deserved the draw sir.

I knew you would say something noble like that.

It was my diabolical plan to get you to admit to the world that I did not lose. 😉

I had a bad position from the start.

I'm counting it as a win. 😉

So this has what to do with "New Year Resolutions"? What am I missing here?

Ahhhh....I see, so no bragging involved here, of course a draw is nothing to brag about unless against a much higher rated opponent! 😉

I knew it!

I was thinking my kingside was trash and you weren't attacking it..why not?

Then in a relatively equal position you had two pawns on the queenside to my one so you had chances to win.

My 4 pawns on the kingside to your 3 would have taken too long to generate counterplay but you accept the draw?

I loathe you 😡
