Well, considering that there is a time control, I would think that maybe due to
the massive hard disk lookup involved, that minimal number of moves would be
preferable to larger number of moves for either wins or draws.

We currently play a game with "imperfection" on both sides, so ALL 3, 4, and 5
piece legal positions are added to the tablebases. But if one side was playing
"perfect", maybe some of those positions would not be needed.

Who can say? This is all theoretical (and probably will remain so forever).
