My opponent and I just finished this game and agreed to post it for comment. It's a claimed draw by repetition. Neither of us saw a win, and deviating from our repeated moves looked dangerous, or at best, still drawish. Was there a win, there at the end, for either of us?
This is my first game post. If this doesn't post, it's game id 7735454.

White's knights look dangerous so, without further analysis, blacks position looks worse. Further thoughts tomorrow, when the guinness effect has dissipated!

Originally posted by michael liddleThanks, I was wondering if someone let an engine work on the position where the draw was called -- what would it say to do. Also, do engines ever recommend claiming a draw by repetition or do they just show the best-scored moves, and let you decide?
