I remember once GetClub had 2 bishop and it was unable to give the

draw and I had to Resign to finish the game.

So now when Opponent has 2 Bishops Left I declared it a draw.

Now, you are saying It is a Win?

Sanny, it is a draw by the fifty-moves rule or by
the threefold repetition of position rule if neither
side makes headway-- as in *that game*.


If I give it a Win in your case then why not give it a win for
GetClubs case.

I don't want you to "give me" a win; I was cheated
out of the opportunity to finish the game according
to the rules of chess. Had it not wrongly declared
the game over, I would very quickly have won. Note
that my King was already in the center, the enemy
King already trapped to one side-- this means I
need not worry over the fifty-moves draw rule at all
(as I would if we started from the worst-case
position).


Same situation both player has to be given same set of rules.

No illegal interventions?



If having 2 Bishops is draw when GetClub have them, then same is true
for the Opponent.

No. It is a win, no matter who has the two
Bishops. But you can't butt in and declare the
game won (or drawn); a game is between two
players. "No progress" will eventually result in
a draw, in accordance with the rules of chess.



Moreove when the Game is Drawn your Rating is not affected. So in such
case atleast you do not loose any point.

What about my record? The display indicates
that I have "lost" or "drawn" many, many games
which in fact were wins or draws for me. And I
don't believe you about the no-effect on ratings
part. I expect I could refute that claim easily, if
it really mattered (which it doesn't).


The rules (i.e. "laws") of chess are very complex,
and THAT is certainly no fault of Sanny's. I just
wish he would at least *try* to accommodate the
actual rules, and not always "err" in the direction
of bogus wins or draws for his program. It reminds
me of the bogus claims that the GetClub program
is better than Rybka, that it has been "improved"
after each failure, and so forth. It all smacks of
rank dishonesty; perhaps Sanny is trying to earn
his way into the Evans ratpack? Or maybe this
is all a bizarre experiment in psychology-- how
will people react to this or that lunacy... .
