And the rules explain this very clearly. If the >draw is a repetition before the move is played, I am not sure, you read my post carefully. Neither do I find any indication in the FIDE chess rules, that would support your point. I looked at: http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=EE101 There I find: --- 9.2 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, when the same position, for at least the third time (not necessarily by sequential repetition of moves) a) is about to appear, if he first writes his move on his scoresheet and declares to the arbiter his intention to make this move, or b) has just appeared, and the player claiming the draw has the move. --- Crafty made a move, and then claimed the draw. This seems not to be in accordance with the above rule. I also looked at the rules for handicapped players at http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=EE2. I cannot find anything, that supports your point. Please point it out to me. Regards, Dieter PS. I don't want to say, that those rules are particually suited for engine matches. But that is another problem.
