Go up one level in this thread


PS. I forgot to mention that if the computers use "digital clocks", this is
stupid. It is stupid for a human to be able to play for an extra 4 minutes and
hence claim the 50 move rule (due to the clock delay) and it is stupid for
computers to be able to do this for infinity. Clock delay should not be allowed
in tournaments and it should not matter if you have KQQ vs. K in the endgame. If
you cannot mate or draw within the alloted time, you should lose. Talk about
technology adding more complexities than what is needed.
