Draw score is 0.00 (Unless you tweak it), that means the Engine knows it's going to draw (Though most of the time the 0.00 goes away after a while). A score higher or lower than 0.00 means someone has an advantage... Even an advantage of 0.10 (1/10 of a pawn) doesn't mean draw. I think the main poster wanted to know if any engine give the CORRECT score of 0.00 and not something lower (Black has advantage) or higher (White has advantage). If 0.50 meant neither side has advantage, then an engine could pick any move at random as long as it doesn't goes below/avobe the 0.50 margin to give the enemy advantage. They wouln't since they'd lose, just try it in CB's friendly mode in where choosing 0.50 has this effect, 1.00 is just slightly better than 0.99, 0.99 doesn't mean "neither side has an advantage" just as 0.50, 0.49, or 0.51 doesn't mean either.
