It mainly depends on how you have things set up.  And even if it is set up
correctly, there are 'rules' that have to be satisfied before it will accept
a draw.  IE it has to believe it is a draw.  It also has to get a draw score
back from the search for 5 consecutive moves (3 for GM players) before it will
accept or offer a draw.

Just giving the position doesn't provide enough information...

The log.nnn file is also needed.
