***** DRAW *****
Command : draw
Examples: "draw" -- offers or claims a draw in your current game
"draw Joe" -- offers a draw in your adjourned game with Joe
This command ends the game in a draw if any of the following conditions
are true:
* Your opponent offered you a draw and you have not moved since then.
* The current position has occurred at least twice before. Everything
must be EXACTLY the same, including the person to move, castling
privileges, en passant possibilites, etc.
* The last 50 moves (50 moves for each person) do not contain any
captures or pawn moves.
If none of these conditions hold, then the command offers a draw to the
opponent.
Remember, you must type "draw" to claim a draw by "repetition" or the
"50-move rule". The game does not end automatically. This is the same
as in tournament chess, where you must ask the TD or your opponent for
the draw.
