Hi Frank,

I don't think Uri meant there was anything wrong with the Arena software. I
think he meant there are better default settings. For example, I too would
prefer if automaitc adjudication and autoamtic draws were disabled by default.
If I was running a big tournament like Leo, then maybe I would turn it on to
save time, but if I am testing my own program, I want my program to play until
the end of the game because I want to see how it plays and I want to find bugs
in my program. I can change these settings, so it is no big deal, but if a new
user tries his engine in Arena, he may not know about automatic adjudication and
automatid draws, and he may waste a week trying to find a bug in his program
(even though there is no bug).
