No.  It was the software's choice.  That is "who" is playing the game.  Ths
software claimed "draw".  The operator overruled the claim, thus "taking the
dive", throwing the game.

What incentive now has SMK to fix his bugs when his opponents all lay down and
play dead instead of hold his "bucket of bugs" to the test?  If his software is
so good, why don't all operators simply resign or forfiet before the game even
starts in deferrence to Shredder's acknowledged superiority?

Ridiculous!!!

Fritz won.  Period.  Shredder accepted a gift 1/2 point which it did not earn.
Shameful!!!
