There is no atomic program. There is the Jonny engine and the fritz-gui. They disagree. The gui reports draw but did allow to play on. I interprete gui output, message box or whatever, as an option for the operator to claim a draw according to the rules. He should claim the draw if his engine agrees. But because Jonny had no clue about the draw, it is the correct decision to play on. Gerd
