I’ve complained about this before, so I expect it to fall on deaf ears again. Nothing is as frustrating as working against another player, slowly taking his pieces away and finally be down to a handful of moves to a win and suddenly you have a draw forced on you. 200 moves may seem like a lot, but when there are two skilled opposing players, it really isn’t. Why is that draw forced? There are timers on each player, just let us play until one of us runs out of time. Make it make sense.

Forced Tie
Please provide the PDN file of the game so we can analyze it and determine whether the draw settings are too strict. (To obtain the PDN file, simply click the “PDN” button once the game has finished.)
That game was played yesterday. And according to moderators in the past, there is a forced tie after 200 moves. I don’t understand why a tie is forced after 200 moves. As I stated, each player has a timer, why not allow that dictate when a game ends. Like I also stated, it is very frustrating to be only a handful of moves to a win and suddenly be forced to a draw.
