If there is any life at all in the game it should be continued, unless it's the programs themselves that are asking to draw. When you resign, you are supposed to get the tournament director to approve it. This is in order to prevent operators from saddling their programs with their own imperfect judgements. Is Jaap the TD? If so, he was pretty hard-core about this a few years ago, but now is willing to give the programs a little more credit. bruce
