Go up one level in this thread


In the end every engine will get his "undeserved" loss, so that unequality will
fade out, but nevertheless moving both kings and rooks voor nearly 40 moves -
and then call time for one shouldn't happen IMO. The example I brought forward
shows that; worse, some engines_DO_declare a draw by themselves, no repeat - no
50 move - just based on position and material - others don't!
That's why I was thinking in the line of changing parameters.

Well, something to do for you programmers out there....:-)

From the various reactions I got -thanks all- I have to stay with declaring a
draw manually. No way. Play away, engines! Draw it yourselves!

Thx again.

Jeroen ;-}
