These are indeed interesting questions. Does the commercially available version of Fritz offer draws when behind in material or evaluation? If not and the programmer failed to implement that option, then Fritz is ineligible to play, since draw offers on behalf of the machine would depend on the operator, which seems to be against FIDE rules. Interesting. Sincerely, Mogens
