Subject: Difficult draws.

Author: José de Jesús García Ruvalcaba

Let us assume that a chess engine finds (with the help of tablebases, perhaps)
that move A (which it has considered best until the last iteration) leads to a
drawn position.
Then, move B gives the program a very small plus (at the same depth).
Is there any program that still chooses to play move A instead move B?
I mean, it is very likely that move B leads to a deeper draw, but which is easy
to play for the opponent; while move A gives the opponent many chances to go
wrong. From a practical point of view, move A is to be preferred.
