A new challenge!

[Lucky]

I will be in Paris from tomorrow until Sunday.
So I´m afraid that we will have to pause our game until then, because I don´t think we will finish it this evening!

Hi!
I´m finally back. Paris was nice, I wouldn´t want to live there though!
So, let´s see if I can get back into this game!
My board is still there, aha

Well, my next move is almost obvious.

I have no experience to evaluate any positions, I´m just playing to my best ability. I have read a small chess book again to remember some basics but other than that any advice or analysis would be really helpful.
But it does indeed look like a draw, but I´m not sure.
Let´s see what develops from the move you made!
