Also, we must admit that the operator has to face difficult decisions, and it is easy an unfair to criticize them. >Or have Fritz itself be the one who accepts or declines an offer of a draw and >set the draw contempt factor high so that it will play out most any position to >an absolute 0.00 eval.
