This has nothing to do with counting wrong Christopher. Both counted right, last move was ply 100, you missunderstood Gabor. Crafty is wrong because it has a bug assuming 50 moves rule would even apply when mated. Arena has only a little bug showing that 50 moves draw comment, but at least it showed the result 1-0 correctly. It's simply mate comes first and you can't claim anything after that ;) Günther
