FIDE says you have to claim while it's your turn still. Progs make a move and claim after it, when it's the opponent's turn again, when it was the program's move which created the drawn situation. I think you missed the last paragraph of my posting. Of course I noticed claiming draw with a pawn move, is a bug. I wrote: But they main thing here is: There was no 50 moves draw in this game. The last move should have been a no-pawn no-capture move, but it wasn't. The pawn move restarts the 50 move counter. Steve
