If this happens when two pawns up, I'd suspect the draw by rep code was busted. It's pretty tough for the positional evaluation to outweigh two pawns (not that it doesn't happen...). -- James >Hi, > >My program has by now reached a level were it can play strong enough to leve the >middle game in a favorable position. e.g. advantage of a bishop or a few pawns. >Every time this happens the program seems to reach some kind of an equilibrium >and the position will result in a draw by repetition.
