Go up one level in this thread


This one seems pretty easy, although I could be wrong. White just keeps
threatening mate (some programs may have a null move problem here?), black must
move a pawn because his queen defends against mate, the pawns eventually get
gobbled up, then white wins.

Slow Chess with an artificually high contempt for draw value produced this game
(If I ever make a newer version it might win games like this under normal
settings instead of drawing them, by scoring draws by repetition just slightly
different according to material balance.):
