I added this to Crafty in an effort to keep its group of "GM friends" friendly. However, in computer vs computer (both automated) games, it really doesn't matter at all except for those rare games where one side loses a rook, but the game still takes another 50 moves to end due to blocked up pawns... Crafty's draw offer/resignation code has always factored the opponent's time remaining into the equation.. but against GM and IM players, this is greatly restricted...
