Actually, there is a better way to prevent lazy, sluggish draws. Just have the computer operator refuse all draws offers until the position is completely dead, (i.e., it's a tablebase draw). Or have Fritz itself be the one who accepts or declines an offer of a draw and set the draw contempt factor high so that it will play out most any position to an absolute 0.00 eval.
