That's a tough one, for a lot of engines. As an experiment, I added a little code to return a draw score if, during any search, there appears to be a "pseudo-repetition" (a series of pointless checks). The standard Amateur doesn't find e5 in 10 minutes. The experimental one finds it almost immediately. This is probably an anomaly, but it does work in some situations. I'll have to look into this some more. 6 0 62 163450 Qg3 Kc6 Qc3 Kd6 Qg3 7 -28 153 406041 Qg3 Kc6 Qc3 Kb6 Qxd4 c5 Qxd5 Qxd5 exd5 Bg4 7 0 231 613431 e5 Kxe5 Qxg7 Ke6 Qf7 Ke5 Qf4 Ke6 Qf7 8 0 370 993897 e5 Kxe5 Qxg7 Ke6 Re1 9 0 807 2220633 e5 Kxe5 Qxg7 Ke6 Re1 Ne2 Rxe2 Kd6 Qg3 Kc6 Qc3 Kb6 Re6 Bxe6 Qe3 10 0 2247 6141050 e5 Kxe5 Qxg7 Ke6 Re1 Kd6 Qg3 Kc6 Qc3 Kb6 Re6 Nxe6 Qe3 11 0 7629 15942395 e5 Kxe5 Qxg7 Kd6 Qxd4 Qg8 Rf6 Be6 Qb4 Kd7 Qb5 Ke7 Rf7 Bxf7 Qb4
