URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27857> Summary: "Draw move" on FICS Project: XBoard Submitted by: None Submitted on: Fri 30 Oct 2009 09:34:38 AM UTC Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: This is not a bug, just a suggestion. On FICS the only secure way to claim a draw (3fold/50moves) with your next move is prefixing your move with "draw ". Typing that is painful. Hitting "d" right after your move gives the opponent the chance the premove out of the drawn position. Unlike ICC, FICS doesn't take a draw offer before your move into account. For me I added AltDown/AltUp Actions (for the left Alt key) that just change one variable. Depending on that var SendMoveToICS() prefixes the move with "draw ". Holding down Alt while moving sends "draw move" then. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27857> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list Bug-XBoard@... http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard |

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27857 (project xboard): Thanks for the suggestion. I was not aware of this special treatment of the draw command by FICS. It seems to me XBoard should definitely support it. An alternative to the UI you propose would be to hit F6 when it is your move, and then move. This would work on ICC, where the "draw" command is initially considered a draw offer, and sent to your opponent, but after your move will automatically grant you a draw if one becomes claimable. I guess XBoard in ICS play should check if a draw offer has been made before the user's move, and if it is, send "draw MOVE" to the ICS to make the claim work on FICS. ICC would probably ignore that, so for the benefit of ICC you would still have to send the move as well. This combination: <user hits F6> draw <user moves to 3rd repeat> draw MOVE MOVE should have the desired effect on both FICS and ICC. It would draw a (different) error message on both, though. Of course smarter code might decide which of the two latter commands to send, but I am not sure how reliable this can be made. (Would going on ics_type be sufficient?) Engines in zippy mode send "offer draw" to XBoard, which in the above sequence takes over the role of hitting F6. H.G.
