I agreed once or twice to draw with something like Q+R vs. Q+R with 4-5 pawns left, but the positions were really equal, computer confirmed that.Rolling Pawnshttp://rollingpawns.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57726894266049739.post-59370613515779364962009-07-30T08:00:03.115-07:002009-07-30T08:00:03.115-07:00I think all the offers were more or less reasonabl...I think all the offers were more or less reasonable.

If their is still play left just move on and try to win, that way you atleast learn something instead of being a chicken. :-)<br /><br />Offcourse, if two seconds left i guess the draw offer is reasonable. The opponent refusing it is normal.From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.com
