- No bungling of repetition draws.
- No issues of operator errors and/or fatigue affecting the games.
- No time lost in move transmission.
- Programmers/operators are more free to move about and relax without fear of
missing a move and losing time.
- Programs make all the decisions about draw offers, draw acceptance, resigning,
etc.  The human element is removed and it's true CC.
- More rounds can be played in the time specified, reducing costs to
participants and organizers alike.


It's all advantages and no disadvantages.
