Hi Eduard,

thanks for posting this game and the final position.
IsiChess has really some problems to find a draw score :-(

Ok, it may be take some plies to force the first repetition.
So clearly some other heuristic or knowledge is required here, probably
triggered by some checks in a row of the weaker side.
My implementation of Roland Pfister's "Patzer heuristic" don't works here.

It is so obvious. Always protected rook gives endless checks on abc-files
- no hiding place, no piece may break the checks. It should be possible and i
may think about it to solve this statically or at least by some shallow search.

This one is much easier:
6Q1/5P2/1K6/5kP1/8/8/8/r1r5 b - -

And this one may be a bit more difficult:
7Q/6P1/3K4/6kP/8/8/8/r3r3 b - -

Keep on, supplying us with such interesting games and positions!

Cheers,
Gerd
