Hi,
That's a DLP game, these sources are irrelevant and probably based on no evidence. However, to be safe, I am going to ask Walter (our historian) to check it.
For the draw, that's normal if both players can not play, the game is over as a draw except if the rules describe another scenario (which is not the case now).
Many ancient games will have that kind of problem in their rules, in general only modern games are trying to handle any case except for a few exceptions. This is one of the goal of the DLP project to find automatically the potential problems in the rules of old games. Our metric analysis should be able to detect that.
For the unrelated issue, yes I noticed it a week ago and Matthew fixed it in the dev version.
Regards,
Eric
