How to reduce draws in chess
Sort:
In a position that is proven to be won by an endgame tablebase (even if it takes another 1000 moves), adjudicate the position as winning immediately.
draws are a part of most sports especially in chess where by best play the game ends in a draw. if draws don't entertain you then you better watch something else :)

I think there's an easy way to remove draws, in case of a draw black side gets the point, that way we will always have a winner. This means white is always forced to strive for victory, and even take risks considering losing and drawing are the same.

These suggestions are dumb and unrealsitic. If you really want to avoid draws just beat your opponent

I think you fail to see the point. Most of people here (including me) are low-level players, we rarely draw, so drawing is not a problem for us. It is a problem in top-level chess where the draw percentage is between 60%-70%. Besides, many times draw games occur because both players decide a half-point is good enough, those, in particular, are boring games, always. Chess is not only a game, is a sport, and like any other sport it should try to be entertaining for fans.
draw rules need to be checked, as i experienced one match where no matter to play game as it went to 410 moves, yes as my opponent not accepted my draw offer and he is upper in rating so he dont wanna draw also by repitation so 10 min match went to a 410 moves...
i suprised as draw rule says if not pawn moved and not pieces captured after 50 moves it draws, but in my case it didn't happen???

That game could have ended early. Note that the THREE-FOLD REPITITION counts if the position has been the same, it doesn't matter how many moves between the identical positions, its still a tie. And, you could just pre-move all your king moves, to try and win on time :D
