Arena Adjudication

Post by NKOTB »

I like when Arena stops games that are so one-sided. Here is an example of a negative I found:
White is ahead by a queen and will easily win
but White has 2 seconds left on the clock (2 min/game) and black has 30.
Not seeing forced mates, in human games black would win 10 out of 10 games but with Arena adjudication, white wins these games.
.
How do you guys solve this? Adjucate a win except when critically short on time!

Probably you didn't change the default move length for adjudication,
which is much too early in Arena...
