Wrong draw claim by Naum 4.2 ?
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 7:27 pm
Maybe someone should inform Naumov.
8/4B3/8/1k6/3p4/3K4/8/2n5 w - - 4 116
In this position, Naum 4.2 played Kxd4 and immediately claimed draw by sending
"1/2-1/2 {Insufficient material}" to ChessGUI.
ChessGUI penalized Naum with a loss becaused a checkmate is theoretically possible.
Naum ran as UCI engine. Though the UCI protocol does not support claiming a draw, some UCI engines claim draws anyway.
Was ChessGUI wrong to penalize Naum ?
