I usually only try to force a draw when I don' t think I have much chance of winning. In this game I (black) had sac'd a piece against a higher rated opponent, so went for the draw from here:
I played 20. ...Qh2+ and forced a perpetual check.
What is white's best defense to ...Ng4?
Could black have done better than forcing the draw?

Originally posted by richjohnsonI think 19...Rxh4 followed with bringing the other rook to h8 is better as it adds another rook to the fray and leaves your queen more flexible.
