in chess, the advantage of white to move first is not enough to win.
And really good players do not make many mistakes so it is more likely to draw the better you play against a similar rated opponent.
Lower rated players such as me do not have many draws.
i played a lot of sports as a kid, there were never any ties. teams played until there was a winner and a loser. the thought of chess being a sport contrdicts this conclusion in exceedingly large numbers because of the draw potential when you were playing a sport except chess did you ever go into the game thinking im going for a draw,i understand that an arguement is made that the posistion is hopeless and that it no chance for a win is possible a couple of rulechanges could prevent this
