No need of course. he reports he took the draw. >period. > Vincent you are not that stupid are you? The rules require "automatic interface". The human absolutely is not allowed to type "draw" into the ICC console. To do so would be in direct violation of the rules for the tournament. You need to stop typing, start reading and thinking. You _really_ look bad here. >Just looking from your own viewpoint is very wrong. He acted very correct. > >Crafty didn't act correct and the TD didn't act correct either. > How in God's name can "Crafty not act correct?" Computers don't "act". Crafty offered a draw every 5 moves as it always does. The opponent can accept it, or make a move which declines it, or the opponent can decline the draw offer directly. But _not_ the operator. Not in an automatic interface only event. you are missing that key point. Probably because you don't care, you just want to rant and rave. Rather than participate. >The only correct decision is writing down 1/2-1/2 and in case of a protest by >Hyatt, then let the players meeting decide what happens. That would have been acceptable, but still wrong. Rules are meant to be followed, not modified at a whim because someone can't follow them directly. > >Simple as that. > >Remember my posting from november/december in CCC here, where i wanted to >introduce this, to avoid dictatorial wrong decisions? > >How true it was.
