Some people complained before about similar positions in this forum. Again, I guess that the problem is that the program immediately recognize as draw certain positions with certain material in the endgame without further analysis. This is true 99.9% of the time, which makes it a GOOD design decision if I want the program to compete. It is TERRIBLE decision if I want the program to be an analysis partner, in that case I would consider it a bug, and a big one. Then again, this is just a guess. Regards, Miguel
