Tony's explanation is what happened, I was standing next to the author of Shark when he offered it (twice!). This may have to do with Shark winning on time saturday while Celes had a mate in 5 in the final position. I wouldn't be happy with 2 wins on time in lost positions. Perhaps if I was commercial and going for the top spots, but still... > >It seems that Djenghis has no repetition detection(otherwise I cannot understand >the move Ke4) AFAIK, Djenghis doesn't have the repcheck, however Shark does, but it attempts to _avoid_ it. The author had already mentioned this during the game. After the game they continued playing and Djenghis threw away it's queen for a pawn. Apparently it has a bug when a mate is in the pv (see it's game vs Celes where it went mate in 2 after Qxg5 rather then picking a line which lost some more material)
