You can read below
10. Etiquette regarding draws:
a. The contestants voluntarily take upon themselves
to observe etiquette in agreeing
to draws without capitalizing on their opponent's
inherent weaknesses, i.e. the human
player's tendency to tire in a pointless game of many
moves, and the machine's
tendency to lose time through the time taken by its
operator to input the human
player's moves. Should a position be reached which is
in the machine's endgame
databases and if the result from that position with
correct play is a draw, then the
game ends immediately and the machine operator must
promptly advise the human
player and the arbiter that the game has been drawn.
