{Black lost connection, game adjourned} *
It's not technically a draw at this point, but it looks like it will turn out
that way. Black is just shuffling, and either the 50-move rule will happen or
black will sacrifice some material to open the position up, in which case a draw
may be easier, since white is no longer down a bunch of material. Also, time
will be a factor - the computer (black) won't have time to calculate much beyond
the shuffling of pieces, so it will continue to do so, or it will lose on time.
Note that white is rated <1200 FICS.
