Which do you prefer?
1) 6 straight draws in 6 games. You are unbeaten in the tournament but yet to win a game.
or
2) 3 wins but with 3 losses.
Three wins and three losses. Since in most tournaments you advance by points, 6 draws would get you 0 points, and 3 wins and 3 losses gives you 3 points.
I guess it depends on how the tournament is set up. In general, in OTB tournaments draws are 1/2 point and wins 1 point.
incorrect. A draw will give you half a point, wich means you end up with the same score.

Well I guess I would prefer 3 wins and 3 losses. Why??
Prefer?
I prefer to collect invaluable experience, as far as chess game playing, to build knowledge, in certain areas I am weak, to get to know people that share the joy.
Win lose or draw, don't matter in the end. Ratings, hahhh, please, it doesn't matter.
