Rxc8 { QuantumLoop: No I do not mind in the least.Given that I am more likely to make a mistake than you.And less likely to see something hidden in the nature of the position than you as suggested by our ratings(mine is inflated also by some undeserved points).Your decision to play on is reasonable.I will try my best to justify my draw offer and enjoy doing so :-). } 21. Nxd6 { pjl1015: Great! You are playing a great game, a draw is likely but we are only on move 21 so far, a lot can happen in this game. I can make a mistake too you know! Glad you decided to play on. Plus it's start position 961 as you said! :] } 21... Rc1+ 22. Kg2 Rxb1 23. Bxb6 exd6 24. Bxa7 Ra1 25. Rxd6 Bc4 26. e4 Rxa2+ 27. Bf2 Be2 28. Rd5 Ra3 29. Rf5 Rb3 30. g4 Rb5 31.
