Well, pre-arranged 12-move draws are boring.


Absolutely, and unethical.



And I think the whole "we hate draws, let's get rid of them" thing is
fueled by that fact that they are prevalent despite being unethical. If
FIDE could swing a big enough stick to make them cut it out, then there
would be far less compaining about draws.
