To let everyone know, I am researching the strong opposition to draws a great percentage of the chess community has displayed. I would like some input about why you like/dislike draws.
Some questions to consider include:
- If a player rated 200 points higher offered you a draw on the first move, would you accept it? If not, why?
- You have even material against a player rated 200 points lower than you. Looking at the board, you see that he has a mate in 5. You are not sure if he sees it, but he offers you a draw. Do you accept it?
What is your opinion on chess games that result in a draw?
