Subiectul: Draw offers in Behemoth chess
Modificat de dresali (30. Iulie 2007, 21:03:04)
I'd say there's a minor fluke in the way offering a draw works in Behemoth chess, cause when you offer a draw, your opponent gets to accept it in a different situation (with more information) which kinda makes offering a draw quite a bad idea, even in equal positions. (I'd say in about every other game, your opponent has to accept or decline the offer in the same situation as it has been issued.)

Say there are only the kings left, and the Behemoth is not attacking any king, its quite an even position, but offering a draw gives a lot of advantage to your opponent, since he gets to see where the B. goes before deciding, and will decline if the B. attacks only your king and accept if it attacks only his king.
So with reasonable players, the draw feature is quite meaningless in such situations, even if both would prefer a draw.
Maybe it would be a consideration to relay draw offers in Behemoth chess before the Behemoth move is executed,
on the other hand this is probably just a minor incoherence not worth the bother, but it was annoying me once or twice when i would have liked to have a draw, but offering one would have been unwise.

dresali: You must be talking about offering a draw with your move. I believe you can also offer a draw without moving. (Of course if your opponent does not answer the draw, you will still need to make your move before the time expires.)

dresali: I do not like your suggestion, because when someone offers draw and I do not want draw, a natural way to decline is just to keep playing, and your way would enforce to answer a question "do you want draw" before continuing, and this I do not like. I hope you understand my concept about "playing one move implies declining draw offer"

Well, this is a luck game, so a K against K endgame is not draw

A simple solution is to play your move, and, after your move have been completed, if the behemoth position is not to favorable for you, offer draw at that time, which seems fair, am I wrong?
Regards

PS: it is possible to offer draw even when it is not your turn to play

mangue: The last suggestion would seem to be the answer here.
