I think that operators of chess programs should not have the right to decide if to agree to a draw. It is something that only the machines should have the right to decide about. I think that the operator was simply lazy and this is one of the main reasons for the fact that Deep Fritz did not win the 4th game. I think that it is better to say usually no to draw offers unless the position is a simple draw or the opponent has a simple way to force at least a draw. Uri
