A pretty u gly move that does little to help White. Black is already comfortably equal.

Black has a very easy position to play and is still comfortably equal, but it is hard for him to create complications and any winning chances.
28.Nd3
Consistent with Whites overall plan to chop wood and make a draw.

Did not apeal to me as having many wining chances, so I tried to just keep some tension and see if White goes wrong]

Black now had about three minutes left as compared with White's six and having tried hard to create complications Black goes too far.

And a draw was agreed now. But if White exchanges off on c7 then I think it should be a win for White. I give an example of play which seems to confirm that Black is lost?
