You must see it that way, there are rules to chess games and if CSTal is incapable of playing chess that way then it will always lose, and so it should. If two humans were playing, do you think an opponent would offer a draw if the other guy always made his time run out, I do not think so. If you want to consider the game a draw, then I suggest you scrap the whole series of matches with Tal playing at that time control, cause I can tell you what the results would be, endless draws using you rules. That said, just another reason I would never consider buying CSTal
