That's actually one of the main reasons I enjoy computer chess tournies a slight bit more than human chess tournies. This is one of the few aspects of human chess play that I hope programmers steer clear of. The only area I wish programs today were better at in terms of offering draws is the awareness of the 'no future progress' draws that are currently hampered by the horizon effect. I like that programs aren't afraid, win or lose, of unclear/possibly dangerous positions and play on until it's a clear win, loss or draw. Makes all these tournies we see more dynamic and interesting. I'd hate to see these mired by a Peter Leko-style engine.
