Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-games
I setup two normal difficulty cpus to play eachother, and they got stuck in a loop of rook moves up, king moves down, rook moves down, king moves up. This continued for about 10 cycles -- normally this is suppsed to force a draw after 3 moves.
Eventually (after the tenth repitition) the rook computer decided to do something different and then eventually lost.

Note that a draw is not automatic - it has to be requested by either player. It appears that GNU Chess assumes this draw is automatic and does not explicitly request it.
