you guys cooperated

Um, this was a public match

Heas not my friend or anything

Soooooooooooooooo

This strategy is usable which breaks the game

so petrified is trash

I actuallty do this, but only on higher rated players which I will win rating from.

They should make a auto draw when this happens cause its very annoying when you need to wait and see whos time runs out first. There is a draw button but some players don't want to draw.

The problem is that these types of draws are difficult to detect automatically without lagging the server a lot. It can probably be done, but it's tricky to implement in a way that doesn't require a lot of cpu power or produce false positives.

(the fact that computers cannot detect closed positions makes it impossible to auto draw)

atleast I think so
