Go up one level in this thread


Hello Again,

Forgot to say can you tell us which version of Arena this is please?

And additional info from Hans is....


According to
"The Oxford Companion to Chess" Second Edition on Page 134
on "fifty-move law" says:
"If both players have made 50 moves without capturing a man or
moving a pawn, a player whose turn it is to move may claim a draw
except for six BASIC ENDGAMES for which the number of moves is
extended to 75: these are Q v. B + B, Q v. N + N, B + B v. N,
N + N v. P, Q + P one square from promotion v. Q, and R + B v. R."

so I have some sympathy for Arena and Crafty...

Hans

Kind Regards

Christopher
