" - no program does this properly . Peter, I try to do it correctly for Yace. But as a Winboard engine it is difficult. There is no command to tell to Winboard "I am no doing the 100th half move (which is not a capturing move, pawn push) after the last capture/pawn push, and I claim a draw with this". Tim Mann suggested, to just send the move to Winboard, and then send the draw claim (by "1/2-1/2"). Similar with draw by repetition. You have a recent version of Yace, perhaps you have the time to check, if this is not done properly. Other WB-GUIs I know, will make the decision for the engine, so there is not much the engine author can do. Regards, Dieter
