What a true! Now I have a more clear vision why I can draw Century every time I
do the neccesary effort: it is just matter of not losing in the middle game. In
endings you can make nule game with just some common sense. Clearly Century does
not know the treatment of almost -but only almost- objetively drawish endings.
It does not know how to make some progress. You just armour yourself and he will
begin to wander from one side to another, without a hint of an idea of what to
do. In some positions it seems to me it make too much trust you are going to
commit a decisive mistake IF such kind of mistake is possible and latent in the
position. There resides, I think, part of the blame. He waits move after move
even if you have showed beyond doubt that you are not going to fall into it. I
imagine that after giving one or two chances to do that mistake, the program
should drop that winning node as not feasible anymore and look for other thing.
