If you draw a graph of elo rating against the proportion of draws, it clearly

The graph for humans has been done by the secretary of the USCF - and is
published on the WWW (sorry - the bookmark's on my other computer).

I have (quickly and unscientifically I admit) looked at samples of games on the
SSDF website, and these appeared to confirm that computers also generate a
higher proportion of draws as the elo rating gets higher.
