Reply | 1 Aug 2008, 16:02:10   Draw called when not appropriate. On the 34th move of my corr, game with Dredo1 I received a "draw agreed" message. This is wrong. I did not agree to a drw. In fact I sent a move with an "if-then". This is the first time this position has occured, so it is not thr-fold repetition. And We both have pieces left, I have Rook, bishop and he has bishop. So why the draw? |

I am still not exactly sure what would cause a draw to be accepted without both players agreeing (other than an automatic draw, which does not seem to apply here), but we will add some logging capabilities in the future that will track exactly why/how the draw was called.

I know it wasn't three-fold repitition because that was the first time in the game that my Rook was on that particular square...And we both had pieces left other than the king...And it was only the 37th move...And I did not go anywgere near the draw button...I made a regular move and it announced that a draw had been agreed upon...I had refused several draw offers and I had no intention of accepting that one...
