London Chess Classic 2011 - FIDE Open - Round 8

I got bye in 7th round and it was good as i was suffering from back pain, headache and a bit of stress. Again in round-8, I started great and got pawn advantage in middle-game tactics but could not convert it into victory. I offered draw when he placed his rook so nicely in front of my passed pawn but he refused (tired of draw refusals) but after few moves, he offered draw (in fact, he tried to make 3-fold repetition) Rd 3,5,6 and 8 were hard-fought for almost 5 hours. Rd #1,4,5 should have been won by me but Timely blunders made me handover all of them.
