Fishy, fishy, fishy game!

"Apparently it is possible to negotiate the result of a game.
It's called a draw.
And in some cases could be considered a "gift".

I suggest you study that endgame deeply if you think that is a clear cut loss for me simply because I'm down material. Yes, I offered a draw there, it was the safe route at the time (at the time I played him he was 1750 and that was one of the first games I started), he accepted, maybe because he felt unsafe about the position too, I mean, look at my pawns. There was no negociation or discussion before and during the game. I offered a draw, he accepted. In another similar like unclear drawish looking game, I offered a draw, he declined, and we are still playing.

Would you set your days per move stat down so we can play together at a reasonable time instead of 14 days per move. Thank you.

It was a tournament game, and a draw is worth 1 point.

I didn't like my position or my pawn structure. I saw the opportunity to give perpetual check, and with over 100 concurrent games running I decided to take the draw instead of going into a drawn out slug fest with an inferior position.

I would have continued had it not been a tournament game.
