The typical computer opponent (mostly manual operated ones) offers draws when losing, etc. _many_ draw offers in fact. Playing in a visible tournament game vs "just another computer game' reduces the probability of this happening, as does knowing the opponents fairly well. If it was easy to 'relax' my draw refusal code for known opponents I would do so, just as I automatically kibitz for some opponents... Don't feel as though this was targeted at you... it was _not_ But if you play most computers, using an automatic interface, you will know the manual operators that offer dozens of draws, trying to find a flaw in the draw logic...
