>Playing SPAUYGADOWOT chess is not simulating clasical chess. ???? When a player makes legal moves he/she plays chess period. Why on earth should a player "simulate" real chess? Actually there is no such thing to simulate at all. The strategy should always be that one that brings you to the result you want. If I play against a GM and exchanging some pieces I get to a dead draw endgame, I'm perfectly entitled to do that, and the GM will never complain our eandagme was to easy for him to prevail, he/she would better prevent me to get there. >Computers PLAY classical chess. What he is playing is a cross between >shuffle board and chess until the 50 move rule or the engine loses on >time to stop the game. Nothing more. If the computer program is so "stupid" to don't undertand it and offer draw at the proper time it is limit of the program. I'm not a programmer, but I have a program sometetimes runnning on FICS. There I simply no-play SPAUYGADOWOT players, because I think they simply want to earn cheap ELO points. But a real programmer testing a program on an ICS might have the interest in working at a code to brake that trickery rather than no-play the opponents tha do that.
