Checkerboard freeware

Post by Darrin »

I have the Checkerboard freeware that runs off the Cake Manschester engine, and I can't figure ourt how to offer the game a draw. I've scrolled all through the menu and I don't see it. Is the option available? Please help, thanks.

Hi Darrin,

What would you want cake to do if you could offer it a draw? Start another game? It has a command to do that. Stop playing and exit? You can do that too. You can see cake's search scores, and these will tell you if you are in a drawn position or not, so you don't need ask cake if it will accept a draw. If you save the game to a pdn file then at that time you can tell it that the game is drawn.
