I think basically Crafty won this one, if nothing else because Comet malfunctioned and insisted that it's a draw. But since I spent so many days running this game, I'm going to find a way to force feed this to Comet and make sure it calculates on that position for a half hour, because now I gotta see how the game would have ended. The tablebase stuff is in the .rc file, but it's commented out at the moment. Pete
