If you down in score you will be glad to get a draw :) There is also positions that is draw by defination that must be handled. For instance if you have pawn and wrong Bishop against alone King, I think it would niggle people if you don't accept a draw offer but start wander with your king. You want them to play more games against your engine. I see on ICC when my engine get higher rated it's fewer and fewer people that would play with it so it's best to be so polite as possible to not scare they away. My draw handling is: moves > 30 move score <= drawscore opponent time > 5 sec. or mytime < 15 sec. I see that let this trig a counter like Hyatt propose would be a good idea, it would be easier to track down draw position instead as I do with accept on first move after move 30. I have a counter on when to resign, score<=resignvalue for 3 consecutive moves. This could also annoy people if you keep playing with a queen down. Odd Gunnar
