Another missing feature is the Offer Draw feature, and you cannot make any draw
offers. Also in Engine vs. Engine, I see ridiculous things like the engine keeps
playing on even in a dead KP-K ending. That's very ridiculous. A class engine
like Rebel should be able to recognize drawn endgame positions instead of
playing until it reaches a 3 move position repitition or a 50 move rule or a
stalemate!!! That really sucks. I noticed that the resign level does not work in
player vs engine. The engine keeps playing on no matter what resign level I set
it to. It simply refuses to resign. This sucks too because it makes me wonder if
the engine will learn anything if I stop the game and start a new one when the
engine refuses to resign, and force me to play on until I mate the stupid
machine.
