This is exactly the reason that the decision was wrong.
The role of the operator is not minimal if we allow the operator to decide if to
claim a draw or not to claim a draw in part of the cases.

The role of the operator is smaller if we decide that the operator is forced to
claim a draw in case that he is allowed to do it.
