I've been feeding Comet the moves from epd positions ever since around move 51
or 52 because it started calling the game a draw early, but now it really is a
repetition draw.
I don't know if stronger programs would have avoided a draw, but things have
been pretty well bottled up for several moves.
They were both told where to find the tablebases starting at move 53 I think it
was.
