Subject: Comet/Crafty - This is a draw?

Ok, this is that 30 minute per move game between Dos Comet and Crafty.  On the
last move that I had Comet do, it took it zero seconds to say "drawn game" and
make the move 52. Bf6, and it didn't even wait to search for 30 minutes.  Must
be some minor bug in Comet.  So I saved it off, and fed the pgn to Crafty, and
Crafty doesn't agree, Crafty answered with 52. ... Bxg4

But look at the last position before Crafty makes this move, and try to make
Crafty's search work

[D]2b1q2k/6bp/3p1Bp1/1p1Pp3/1Pn1B1NP/5PP1/6K1/2Q5 b - - 0 52
               19->  24:32  -0.79   52. ... Bxg4 53. Bxg7+ Kxg7 54. fxg4
                                    Qd7 55. Qg5 Qf7 56. Qc1 Kf8 57. Kh3
                                    Qa7 58. Qg5 Qe7 59. Qh6+ Qg7 60. Qxg7+
                                    Kxg7 61. Kg2 Kf6 62. g5+ Ke7 63. Kf2
                                    <HT>

Here's the pgn from the point where Comet declaired it a drawn game:

[Event "Comet-Crafty"]
[Site "586-700"]
[Date "2001.03.12"]
[Round "1"]
[White "Comet"]
[Black "Crafty"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5
7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Na5 10. Bc2 c5 11. d4 Qc7 12. Nbd2 cxd4

43. f3 Bc8 44. Qc3 Qd7 45. Ng4 Bg7 46. Bg5 Bb7 47. Qe3 Nc4 48. Qc1 Bc8
49. Kg2 Kh8 50. a4 Qe8 51. axb5 axb5 52. Bf6 1/2-1/2

Oh well, I'm pretty sure I turned Comet's log on for this game, but nothing
showed up in it.
