Subject: How many chess programs see pawn chain draws?

Author: KarinsDad

The thought occurred to me that there are positions which are drawn due to
massive pawn chains that prevent either king from entering into the opponent's
position and hence, prevent any improvement for either side.

Granted, positions like these (and I do not have an example) will result in an
eventual draw by repetition or draw by 50 move rule, however, I was curious
whether any of the chess programs detect a draw way before this occurs.

Does anyone have any information on this for any program?

Thanks,

KarinsDad :)
