I'm sorry for being so late. I offer a draw. If you decline, then I will take an extension. Just not a lot of time at the moment.

Take your time. It's not a big deal.

If tomorrow night you still feel like the draw offer is the best move, then go for it.

My offer of a draw is legit. What I see in the game is if player A pushes for a win, player B can defend while player A gets in a bad position and becomes vulnerable in the endgame.

My offer stands. If you decline, my move will be

Spoiler:

Edit: sorry, I did that backwards. My move is gxh, then I offer the draw.

Just got back from a hockey game and kinda tired. I'll respond to your offer tomorrow morning.

I'll accept the draw. My king is a little trapped by those pawns (though less so than before) and I don't want to do something really stupid. It's an even enough game I think where this is a fair result for both.

You played very well after the opening. Letting me ram that pawn into your side of the board wasn't good for you, but I don't think I took proper advantage. I kept changing plans. First it was to exert dark square dominance, then it was to use the larger space. Centralizing my king should have given me a huge advantage with most of the pieces gone. You played very well to not give me the easy road. Good game, eyebooger.
