Subject: Question: Criteria to accept or reject a draw offer

Author: William Bryant

I'm updating the ability of my program to accept or decline a draw offer.

The criteria I have is very simple and I'm looking for a discussion or
suggestions.

1. If engine is loosing (by greater_than a Bishop or Knight) then accept the
draw
2. If the engine returns a draw score for 5 or more moves in a row
	(and out of the opening phase), then accept (and/or offer) a draw.
3. If winning by more than a Knight or Bishop, then decline any draw offers.

Rather simplistic.

Any thoughts or comments?
