You can put players who offer draw more than twice in a game in the noplaying list. You can also always refuse draws before the endgame(based on the material on the board). > >Crafty plays as it does against computers, because in general, manual computer >operators are pretty poor sports (of course, programs run by their authors are >generally an exception, but 99% of the computers on ICC are _not_ run by their >authors, and are only there to see how high the rating can be driven, for >reasons I don't understand. I think that if the target is to get higher rating than it is better to use human+computer in standard time control. I believe that instead of offering draw every move it is more productive to concentrate in the game and think when to tell the computer to play faster and when not to play the computer move. Uri
