Sorry for the immediate off-topic, but for me the practice of awarding half a point to each player after a draw is useless. The goal of the game is to checkmate your opponent's king, and its consequence in tournament play is a magic point for you! If you're having a bad day or you've never been 100% healthy when beaten, that magic point goes to your opponent.
But when the game is a draw, the magic point magically splits itself in half and bam here's one for you here's another for you xoxo and hasta la vista. No! Dammit! Why?! There is no need to even think about a point when the game is drawn. There's no point. Nobody won. It's castling baby, 0-0, zero to zero.
Pardon the pointy post in an otherwise soon-to-be-grammatically tense thread.
in some tournaments, that half a point matters.
So, who do you think is Carlsen versing for the next world championship?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict Carlsen vs Anand 3.0. Since the last WCC Anand has clearly been the second best player in the world IMO - no one else has been as consistently good as him.
So, which one will produce the poetry?
*versing*
You mean poetry re-"versing"?
