Right click on the text box and click on Paste.

I tried to "right click" but it still won't let me paste the games on this thread. Is there something else i need to do? Well i could always send it to anyone who has email. Thanks.

Try increasing contempt factor. It should reduce your draws.

increasing the contempt factor means that the engine would lose the game against equally strong engine without any parameter changes!

I doubt this a lot. Such completely strange results almost always
indicate a user setting/hardware error. Without seeing the games(if they
happened at all!) all posts in this thread are nothing more like predicting
the future from an empty fish bowl...

Try copying ONE of the games (Not all), then click on "reply" on this thread, and then click on Edit > Paste of your browser.

I've never seen someone having this much trouble to post a game online.

Ask him to manually write moves by copying, instead of copy pasting (which he couldn't do)...thats the only solution I have for him :)
