That's indeed one of the items I am interested in. Will the number of draws increase or not. If you look at the first 2 games Rebel in both games had good chances. In the game against Shredder the little material advantage wasn't enough for a win, IMO Rebel never had a real won position. However in the other game Rebel had a clear won position but somewhere blew it and / or Fritz was able to hold the draw due to the very high ply-depths of such long time controls. But I have good (non draw) news to report. Rebel10.0c lost its first game against Hiarcs7 but is winning its second game (+4.xx now) so we won't see draws only. Hopefully....
