Either way, you fail sometimes. The code is pretty restrictive about when it calls the draw detection routine, so there aren't very many "real" positions where it even applies. But I'd like to hope that in cases where it does apply, it's right more often than it's wrong (whereas without the code, Crafty would *always* be wrong). I didn't write that code to be perfect. For one, I'm not that good a programmer. If anyone cares to improve on it, I'd be very happy.
