It will only devlare a difficult drawish game to a Draw. And with Draw

So, it plays incorrectly, and it rates incorrectly?

Is there anything it does correctly?


It seems to always get the correct position set up
at the beginning, and oddly enough, it also seems
to play legal moves -- except the final one which we
are not supposed to "see", where it moves its King
into check.

A few issues remaining:


1) improper handling of draws and draw claims;

2) advance level is nearly impossible to play,
unless you are operating a 3000-rated monster
which crushes the program *quickly*;

3) sometimes the program goes into a deep
think, on move one, as White;

4) when there is but one legal move, the GC
program may think for an hour before deciding
which move to play.
