There are reasons to do it right. >icc have no trouble adjusting to online rules, because they are more practical. They are not correct. There is a serious flaw on those online rules, you can move and before you type draw or push the button to claim it the opponent replies. You claim is gone! >Actually FICS implements draw claims without moving (yopu can type "draw ><move>") but noone does that. Great for FICS! My suggestion of having a claimdraw command in winboard aplies very well here. (I missed this message before replying to B.
