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).
