I don't know about the Crafty-Rebel game, but there is evidence that the
Fritz-CM game is basicall a dead draw.  I posted it on r.g.c.c, and can repost
it here if wanted.  The thing is that a bad move from either side results in a
quick loss, so both will probably play for the draw (I'd guess). At least if one
thinks it's losing, it won't have a lot of trouble finding a draw.
