I'd like to stress this sentence: "After this move Boris, in his gentle way, became more insistent: 28. f4 f6 and the black king comes to e6. If white now plays a5, said Boris, then I as black play b5 and I want to win! We both could see on the analysis machine that Junior wanted to play a5 in every possible variation. I had to agree that Boris was making more sense than Deep Junior." I don't understand from the postings who did the second draw offer and I don't think it brakes any rule. Still I think that offerting or accepting a draw just beacuse you see the program is going to play a weak move or a blunder is not what I would like to see, especially with a GM helping the team in such a decision. On the other side what should the operator do if he sees a negatve score when he gets a draw offer? Shoul he tell the opponent "no thanks, I don't take the draw offer because you are better?". Even from a scientific viewpoint the fear of the human player is a part of the "experiment". regards Franz
