Flaw in live chess program.

There is a flaw in the live chess program. It does not recognize the 50 move rule that says if a game goes more than 50 moves without a piece or pawn being captured the game is a draw since no progress is being made.

You have to claim it by pressing the draw button.

I did press the draw button several times. I also sent a message to "Help and Support" on this problem. I will c what they have to say.

In your most recent game, which went 81 moves, there was a pawn move on move 38, meaning you never reached 50 moves without a pawn move or capture.

Yes pawn move not neccesary capture.

You guys are right, the pawn move keeps the 50 move rule from being invoked.
