I saw the Recorded game below
http://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?id=3DDM19183&game=3DChess
The Beginner declared win as it saw a Mate in 4.
Last position was
White: K-d1
Black: K-f4, R-g2, N-e4
And it was Black to move. Black found Mate in 4 So declared itself a
win.
1. ... Ke3 2. Kc1 Kd3 3. Kb1 Nc3+ 4. Kc1 Rc2# (Mate in 4)
I analyzed with another computer and found a Mate in 4. Thats the
reasion GetClub gave itself a Win. I am happy to see GetClub was able
to see Mate in 4.

It was Mate in 4 as per analysis by other computer.

Yes, I have seen many games wwhere Draw has come by repitition of
moves.
When GetClub is at advantage, I have told it to change its move So
that repetition with draw do not happen. So After 2 repetition it
changes its move to avoid draw.

Yes, When it finds a Mate in 3/ 4. It feels all moves are equally bad.
And it gives equal points to all moves and Since king has to die it
sometimes plays King into Check. But when it plays such move It has
already Resigned. User only sees such moves when looking at recorded
Games. Player never sees that move being made while playing.

Now if you think harder you can win Beginner with a Pawn odds.
Easy Level can win you with a Pawn Odd. meaning if you have a extra
pawn then your game will be equal to that of Easy Level.
Here is the new Rating I give to all
Beginner: 1900 (5-10 sec/ move)
Easy: 2100 (20-30 sec/ move)
Normal: 2300 (1-2 min/ move)
Master: 2500 (5-10 min/ move)
Bye
