You know what, you're right. I don't know, for some reason I thought Black couldn't catch the pawn.
Oh well.
That's okay, I have a good rating. People won't know.

I've been going to a physical chess club lately and wsa looking at a position last week where all I could see was white was lost, and everyone around the board was saying what a great position white has... I guess they were right given that they are rated way higher than me, but I couldn't even see it after their explanations. Sometimes the emperor has no clothes, but sometimes he really does, and it's just you that can't see them

Games in progress should not be discussed in the forum. Besides that, white is higher rated and etiquette (if chess players adhere to such a thing these days) would dictate that he should be the one to offer the draw. In any case there is nothing wrong with maneuvering if one thinks there is a chance his opponent will make a mistake. It may be irritating but there is nothing wrong with it and all you can do is play on and prove your evaluation is correct.
Irritating. That’s a factor. One former CC champion said you should play on for a while before resigning (or possibly offering a draw) because it often annoys an opponent and sometimes in their angered state they won’t think clearly and will make a mistake.

First time I've ever heard of it being up to the higher rated player to offer a draw.Is this generally accepted across the board ? (figure of speech)

I knew a guy who was invited to play in a tournament at the state fair. He refused to play. When asked why he would not play in the tournament he replied, "I am not a fair player."
