declared as a draw by yavgeni at move 44 after the opponent offered a draw when
he made move 43 and yavgeni accepted(after I told the opponent that I do not
disagree that it is a draw but I decide not to to accept a draw before move 46
when yavgeni has the right to accept or offer a draw before move 46).

The last moves were 42...Rxb3+ 43.Kg4 Rb2 44.Ra3
