Subject: Chessmaster6000 and the 50 move rule

Hello,
Does anyone know whether CM6K recognizes the 50 move rule for a draw (no
captures or pawn moves for 50 moves= draw)when you play a rated game against one
of it's personalities?  I was playing a rated game against a personality "SAM",
and the game simplified into a K,N,+2P on each side ending.  The pawns were
blocked.  To make a long story short, we just shuffled Kings and Knights for
about 40 moves (110 moves total).  The program would not repeat the position,
nor accept a draw offer.  I was too tired to continue and had to quit (in effect
resigning).  Had I continued another 10 moves, would the program have declared a
draw?
Thanks
Gerald
