Since the game was billed as GK v DJ, and the DJ team are decent, honourable men, then one must surely assume that the draw offer came from DJ itself, as it was playing the game. Wrong. Turns out, the final draw offer had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the computer that was playing the game. Rather, the decision was made by Amir, Shay, GM Boris Alterman, backup copy of DJ, uncle Tom Cobley, uncle Tom Cobley's dog, and uncle Tom Cobley's wife. It would be funny if it wasn't a game of immense importance with several million people following and very rare TV coverage. -g
