Subject: Draw claim?

Author: GuyHaworth

Date: 08:04:17 06/15/05

http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2451 seems to think one can claim
a draw in a KRKB endgame.

However, I thought the rule was that one could only do this if it was impossible
to mate the other side, even with co-operation.  Well, Black can lose its B for
a start ... and maxDTC = 18 so there are one or two subtle wins for White
around.

So are Chessbase wrong here?
