Unfortunately in the first 4 rounds I used my last compile wich was a debug version. This version is about 2 times slower than the release version, but because I just got my new computer wich is 6 times faster I didn't notice. A side-effect of my debugversion is that it basicly disables my egtb's, returning always a draw. So in this position XiniX said draw, Sjeng said white wins. With 2 minutes on the clock, Sjeng allocated 20 secs for his move, wich lead me to believe that Sjengs score was an evaluation score so XiniX' score was correct. I was waiting for my opponent to offer the draw, wich I thought ( because of the time difference ) I did not have to offer. He didn't and lost on time. Tony > >-- >GCP
