Forced Draw Checkers
I’ve complained about this before, and you guys always say it doesn’t happen.  I was just now playing a game, four to three.  Slowly working traps, got it down to three to two, working another trap, got it down to two to one.  Exactly two moves later, the game forced a draw.  So much for your “forty moves without a capture” being the only way the game forces a draw.

Understand the rules before you complain:
3 ways to draw:

1. Clicking the draw button and other user accepts
2. If you make 40 moves without jumping anyone or no promotion
3. If there are 200 total moves in a game with no winner.
Understand, but here’s the deal.

1. No one clicked the draw button.
2. As I stated, we were a four to three situation.  I had trapped my opponent and made it a three two game. A few moves later, a two to one.  Cornered my opponent, he I chased him, he made the inevitable move to be jumped, a draw was forced.  There were never more than 5, maybe 6 moves in this situation, certainly not 40.
3. I have played games with 200 moves, I know about that.  This game was nowhere near 200 moves.

Any other ideas?
