Have you checked in the logfiles? I'm not sure whether Arena displays draw offers made to the other program. I've checked my code (as I wasn't sure about offering draws with a 0.01 score) but it should have. The conditions for offering/accepting draws are: accepting draw offers when: - score less than 0 and in the endgame - drawscore (ie -0.01, 0 or +0.01) at least 3 times in a row Offering draws when: - drawscore at least 5 times in a row (since the last non-draw score) -when holding on to the drawscore, it will offer a draw again every 10 moves. I don't know whether Pharaon will accept draw offers. Richard.
