This is bad practice vs. humans though. A couple of days ago I had a better R+P ending against one of the crafty clones on ICC, and the only way to try to win was to go into a Q vs. R ending, which I would likely not have been able to win at blitz. But then the thing just refused to take my rook, giving me a Q+R vs. R ending instead. Has anyone thought of a way to fix this kind of thing yet?
