Computers are appearing to be the classic draw master, >perhaps because they lack the creativity of the human player?? I can't comment on the relative percentage of draws, but computers are very good at getting draws when they are losing, because they don't know they are losing. As a consequence they will not roll over and die once they start to lose, they will keep fighting until the game is over. Humans tend to collapse once they start to lose, their human opponents expect this, and humans who expect the computer to collapse once it starts to lose are in for a bad surprise. This is one of the few lessons that players of all levels can learn from computers. bruce
