Hi Thomas, I am not sure how the auto232 solution should handle draws. Yesterday in my round 5 game against Tinker, Rybka played a move which repeated the position for the third time. The chessbase GUI detected this and automatically ended the game, resetting the position in preparation for the next game. The winboard connected to the ICC, however, was still expecting a move, and typing "draw" into ICC at this point required my opponent's cooperation. There are no settings that I can see in the chessbase gui for disabling draw detection. One solution would be to have the engine itself understand the draw and include the draw claim in the "kibitz_to_icc.txt" file. Is there something easier? It appears there is more to these tournaments than just playing moves :-) Cheers, Vas
