The rules are not clear about it. I know that in the position when I claimed a draw my opponent could also win if I blunders but there was no practical chance that I will blunder if I am not in a big time trouble. I was not sure if the decision will be a draw but I had no choice because I had only 20 seconds on the clock and I knew that I cannot make a draw by the 50 move rule in 20 seconds. I think that Fritz will be happy if you let it repeat the position when it believes that the opponent has the advantage so the simplest way to try to get a repetition in the final position is to play moves like Nc4 Nb2 Nc4... and get a draw.
