Not in less than 30 minutes, but after a while it at least shows 0.0. Yace does
not have any drawing heuristics (like for example Little Goliath, which seems to
use something like: when I check my opponent n times in a row, it will be at
least draw). It really has to see, that repetition of position can be forced.
