Go up one level in this thread


My first game with Armageddon is a draw. I have 2 complaints:

(a) it doesn't recognise 3-fold repetition as draw.

1. c4 Nf6 2. d3 d5 3. cxd5 Qxd5 4. Nc3 Qh5 5. e3 Qxd1 6. Nxd1 e5 7. e4 Bb4
8. Bd2 Bxd2 9. Kxd2 Nc6 10. Rc1 Bg4 11. f3 Be6 12. Nc3 Nd4 13. b3 O-O-O
14. Nge2 a6 15. Nxd4 Rxd4 16. Be2 b5 17. Rc2 g6 18. Rhc1 c5 19. Bf1 c4 20. Ne2

Nxd5 27. g3 Nb4 28. Rc7 f6 29. Rf7 Rxa2 30. Kg1 Nd5 31. Bg2 Ne3 32. Bf1
f5 33. Rcc7 Nxf1 34. Kxf1 Ra1 35. Ke2 Ra2 36. Ke1 Rxh2 37. Rb7 Ka8 38. Ra7
Kb8 39. Rab7 Ka8 40. Ra7 Kb8 41. Rab7 Ka8 42. Ra7 Kb8 43. Rab7 Ka8 44. Ra7
Kb8 45. Rab7 Ka8 46. Ra7 Kb8 (here I quit the game and declare it a draw)

(2) You get empty tags like what you see above if you save game as pgn.



err...side issue: any comments about the game I played (I was white)?
e.g.
(a) 20. Ne2 was my amateurish mistake?
(b) Armageddon has no king safty code?

regards
