The question is if there are less draws.
White can score better in % inspite of having more draws.

It is possible that weaker programs get 40% for white,30% for black and 30%
draws when stronger programs get 30% for white 56% for draw and 14% for black.

If this is the result then it suggests that a perfect chess is a draw inspite of
the fact that white get 58% with the new programs and only 55% with the old
programs.
