Totally strange behaviour.

GnuChess 4.0 was winning a game agains NeroWB 6.1 when the game
suddenly ended with announcement 'draw' for no reason. :shock:

That 'draw' can't be from NeroWB because it says 'stalemate' and
in other cases it tells the reason of the draw (material, 3 rep, 50 mv rule.)

Here two games, the latter ended with that strange draw message.

Do this ever happen to anyone else. Does my computer have some
illness... 8-)

Maybe you should try the bugfixed GNUChess 4.0-TM (fixed by Thomas Mayer).

You will find it at Leo's website (Engine info)
