Well, that was fun to figure out. The first move is forced, but after that there's a lot of variations to calculate. Maybe I should double check my work now that Rego says his opponent blundered

Nc2+

A) Ka4, Qf4+ Bc4, Nb6+ Kb5, Bd7+
...a) Kxb6, Qe3+ Kc7, Qc5+ Kxb7, Qa7#
...b) Kc5, Qe3+ Qd4, Qxd4#

B) Kb2, Nd4+
...a) Kb1, Qc2#
...b) Kc1, Qc2#
...c) Ka3, Nxb5+ Kb4, Qf4+ Kxb5, Qb4#
...d) Kc3, Nxb5+ Kd3, Nc5#

Edit: Looks like the opponent did blunder, but only after you blundered first Actually, you didn't blunder. Trying to see where he could have escaped but can't so far

Edit2: Fixed my notation. I had a-through-h reversed by mistake

18...Nc2+
19. Kb2 Nd4+
20. Ne2

escapes the mate, but of course Black has a winning position anyway.

Yes Gustaran that's the move I saw afterwards

[pindicator]

As soon as i saw Gustaran's name i knew i missed something

Well met my first idiot on chess.com.

Playing a guy rated 200 higher than me, and was going to lose, but got into a position where I had perpetual check (or at least i thought i did, I can see how to break it now). So sent this with a draw offer:

unlucky, I have perpetual check now

And got back

I know, but wen our ratings are similar, u can have a draw, until then cya

Im 1755, don,t bother me

And what a patthetic way to try and end a game, myst go with the man I spose

Hoped a game like chess would avoid this sort of person, but I guess I was kidding myself

[novice]

So just ignore him and repeat moves?

[Jkaen]

Yup, and hope he doesn't spot how to break it. Just found it all a bit disapointing

[Gustaran]

While I don't think his behaviour is very nice, I must say you broke some rules of courtesy as well:


a) With best play your position is lost. Claiming you have a perpetual check when you haven't can be considered as an unfair attempt to trick your opponent (I understand it was an honest mistake but your opponent doesn't know that).

b) Offering a draw in a lost position especially against a higher rated player is considered impolite.

c) If you have a dead drawn position usually you would wait for the higher rated player to offer the draw.

d) Don't write any comments on why you offer a draw, especially if your reasoning is wrong.

e) If you have a perpetual check you can simply play for a three move repetition and then claim a draw without your opponent's consent. So if he is just being an ass and missed how to avoid the perpetual check, play a few more moves and get your draw:
