Because they only play moves calculated by the computer. The only thing they have to do,  is to remember the chess-computer's move. Well both players have extremely good memory, so it is understanable that every game ends in a standard draw.


Seriously dude, if you don't have the slightest clue about chess, why would you make such assumptions?

WELL SAID!

Rating is inversely proportional to offense taken at the draws.

If you are under the impression that game 4 was just memorized computer analysis, it appears that you don't know much about chess. If you think that these draws are pre-arranged, you seem to have a serious thinking defect.

Anand (100 analysed moves) 65%/80%/85%/87%

Carlsen (99 analysed moves) 59.6%/73.7%/82.8%/85.9%

There's nothing wrong with draws, but there is something wrong with this format. When there were 24 or even 30 games 10-12 draws left lots of room for wins and losses.

 

Personally, I hope they draw all but one. I think a one win champion is exactly what this format deserves. If they draw all 12, that's fine too.
