In other words if the program makes a move that force a draw by the 50 move rule
then it should claim a draw immediatly because it is clear that the opponent can
force a draw but if the opponent made a move that force a draw by the 50 move
rule the program should first search and only if it see no advantage it should
claim a draw.

note that in the last case every move that is no pawn move or capture or
checkmate should be evaluated as not more than a draw because the opponent may
claim a draw after it.
