There is simply a function which let you adjourn very long games as a draw - for strarge reasons the default value is set to '90' (moves). Go to ->Engines ->Tournament ->Options and uncheck or set another value for draw adjudcating, I suggest 200 or 250, depends on wether your engine or opponent supports 50 moves draw rule or 3 time rep... I suggest also to read the help files again because its quite possible that there are some other hidden features you missed at first sight. Best regards, Günther RWBC = http://home.t-online.de/home/g.simon.rgbg/ BTW do you plan to release your engine to the community? Does it support the WB protocol or only UCI?
