It is not a part of the machine ability to know if a draw is desirable or not, except according to the position, objectively etc. Unless that is what the machine is programmed for, before the match. Not, discrimination between game and game. That's the human prerogative alone. Possibly, to intervene that the computer play a different opening is not as bad as if this game was programmed to aim for a draw. S.Taylor S.Taylor
