My opponent offered me a draw here. Remembering his antics of the previous day, I stifle my natural response of "Are you effing kidding me?" and very politely say "No thank you". |

My knights are working extremely well in tandem anchored around the protected c5 square. |

Trying to get repositioned.... |

....at the cost of yet another pawn. I'm thinking of my opponents comments to a player that he beat yesterday. "I took all of your pieces! Hahahaha....You're not any good are you?" Take a wild guess where I'm heading with this........... |

Be7, rooks get vertical, and it's a shutout. |

Once again, I get a draw offer. I don't say a word. |

I'm not going to give him anything, and threaten Nc5. |

No, I'm not going to trade rooks. I'm going to win a rook. |
