There are 3 ways to see it's a draw.

1. Tablebases - In that case many programs will see it.
2. Calculating deep enough to see the 50 move rule will interfere - no program.
3. Programs that understand enough about chess to know that this is a draw. But
if there is such a program, it will probably be not very strong, because the
extra chessknowledge will slow it down too much.
