Our operator thought, that the engine had a bug, so he accepted the draw. I have heard about the situation two days later. - Too late. I don´t think that a protest would be successful at that time. See also Goliath´s game against Mchess. We expected to play a new game, but after our protest the game was moved on two days later with the actual board position. As Goliath stays at Paris with it´s engine-version only (no learning-function e.g.), we have no chance to prepare for the continue of the game (if we would want to do so). But what about Mchess?? M.
