I was talking about FIDE chess among >humans. Uri, what you mean is chachacha or such dancing, to and fro. 1)Bob Hyatt talked about computer chess in his reply. He meant that the only case when Crafty can lose on time against computer is with game that has more than 500 moves and it can happen against a computer if the computer does that dancing and does not agree to a draw. "And it won't lose against a computer unless the game is _way_ long, say 500 or more moves..." 2)I also think that it can happen in human chess in blitz in ICC(for example in 7 minutes per game and not in 3 minutes per game so players have enough time to play 500 moves) because one human may try to win on time in a drawn position.
