chessmec: I see no reason not to discuss this particular game. It illustrates my argument to a tee. As for a feature request, this has little to do with this game site as it does to me for how Chess itself is played everywhere. I think the draw rules are not right. Perhaps you're right, a feature request is a good place to bring it up also. Draws shouldn't be allowed on this site in game where a draw is not a possible outcome, such as Backgammon or Pente. That does sound like something this site could change and is a legitimate feature request. Though I kind of think that Fencer must like having draws in those games possible, or he'd not allow them in the first place. Chess is different, and its history of draws and how they're allowed to happens precedes some of the controlling powers of it now. And believe me, I'm no fan of F.I.D.E.
