The way I handle it, is to give the side having the option to draw, a slight advantage score wise. In that way the leading side will always favour positions where it cannot loose and the loosing side will always have to try to get out of the trouble.
Yes, I know of this, but I am fear, this breaks evaluation symmetry. I have seen it, but on only a few engines. Please correct me if I am wrong. Of course this doesn't automatically mean it could be a good way to prevent this phenomen.
I would try it. I guess one way of finding wins when you can force draws is that when you have a forced draw score, remove history reductions since they will be complete garbage. Maybe try to remove reductions/extensions belonging to pv too.
