Subject: Kasparov - Deep Junior: and tablebases draw rule

Author: Francesco Di Tolla

An important rule went unnoticed here.

The program can use the tablebase, but the game is declared draw when the
computer hits a tblbase draw!

Not a trivial statement: imagine Kasparov gets into a position where he is in
disadvatage, he can try to enter in an endgame he knows to be drawn even not
knowing how to play it.

A sort of compensation for the fact Deep Junior has the TB's.
