Can Shredder evaluate a drawn position without triple repeti - 2006/12/19 01:10 Just had a thought process on the Shredder 'draw' incident at the WCCC, which I believe the game should of been adjudicated drawn and the operator of Jonny reprimanded. The Shredder team claimed it was a bug, so my question is this. Was Shredder unable to evaluate a position draw by triple repetition? For example, if it was 2 pawns down, with no compensation, but there was a forced triple repetition on the board ready to be played, how can it evaluate something that it cannot compute due to a bug in it's evaluation program.

Hope I have explained myself clearly,.

re:Can Shredder evaluate a drawn position without triple repeti - 2006/12/19 01:39 Shredder did not do three move repetition, Jonny did, but operator refused to claim the draw, while program detected this.
IMHO it means Shredder can detect that it forces three move repetition but does not take any actions to prevent its opponent from doing forced three move repetition.
The same position was after 33. ... Rab8 35. ... Kh7 37. ... Kh7 and Shredder failed to prevent it by choosing other moves.
If Shredder was in troubles it could force a draw by triple repetition.
This asymmetry is a bug..
