Maybe the operator was trying to be a nice guy? When I play with Mint on ICC or FICS I often offer a draw to a human when he's had a winning position but blunders. Makes everybody's day better. The score of the game per se doesn't matter at all the way I see it, but rather the experience of the game, and not only for me but also for everybody else involved. Cheers from me to the operator for accepting the draw, it makes me respect the Rebel team even more! Oh, and thanks for an interesting match! :) - Christian >Uri
