Anand and Adams - Super GM Matches are Super Boring! Draws Deflate Chess Popularity!
Look at this game. What's so exciting? When two Super GMs play it is usually like watching paint dry, water evaporate, or pigs sleeping. I've heard it all: It's because they play so well, the beauty is in the defense not the attack, WHATEVER. I've been to enough tournaments to tell you that nobody crowds around a drawn game. So if your table is drawing a crowd, somebody is losing. I will admit that once in awhile these Super GMs will bust the others position. But more often than not, the games up in a draw. (Unless you go back to pre-Kasparov old age eras)
