This is a game between my dual 400 Mhz running a Crafty clone (cubebox)
on FICS against a computer called Roboelvis (also a dual).
White looks like it is totally and utterly dead (-10.72 at one point)
but it ends in stalemate! I've never seen such a save before.
Is this an incredible fluke or did the other computer (also a crafty clone,
playing black) just really screw up?

Has anyone seen a lower eval (-10.72 at one point) and still draw?
