You know, its not just that it says the original position is a draw, its that no more moves can be made. In another position, it might say "Mate in 4" but the user can still make moves. The whole point Fine is making is to show that neither side can win and I'd like to see for myself. Now we know that its also wrong. "dr in 5" is dead wrong on the position you gave. :-( Dan
