It is not logical to do a quick draw with black against weak opponent like
comet32

I think that changing the contempt in the engine parameters can help it to avoid

I am going to look in the game to check it.

you may miss a win in a lot of tournaments if you always do a draw with black
because other players will win with black and can have more than 75%
