It has been a problem for decades. There are probably dozens of not hundreds of previous threads saying exactly the same thing.
The most successful solutions have involved playing rapid chess. It increases the blunder rate and helps chess turn into more of a spectator sport.
Chess960 is a similar attempt to increase the chances of decisive games.
Hello everyone
I would like to share this tread with everyone and see other peoples opinions.
I am a generally a casual chess player but study also time by time and playing casually.
As i have checked the last 4-5 world chess tournaments and the top level best Grandmasters in the world i have noticed that 50% of the games are ending in a draw.
So my questions are the following to everyone that cares for the game really.
Nobody sees that this is destroying completely the game ?
Nobody sees that playing on purpose for a draw is destroying the game ?
Nobody sees that taking for granted the draw rule in a completely 100% skill and strategy game to survive is destroying the game ?
Ok maybe i don't have the experience of a Grandmaster but noticing what is good or bad in a situation where such a good game is impacted positively or negatively does not have to do with the players skill base but rather how the game is created and played...So this is just my observation and nothing more.
But really what is the whole point and idea of a draw and why is it allowed as long as it is simply destroying the game and pretty much the top players FIDE records statistics have 50% draws...
Where is the tenacity and the meaning behind all this ?
Am i the only one seeing it ?
A game slowly dying over the years with this approach.
Becoming more and more adopted to play for draw?
Because the rules simply allow it..
I would like to see any reasonable answers and comments on the tread that will justify this thing so i can understand better why this is happening.
Thanks for your time
