See the interesting interview with Anand on the chessbase web site about the
problem of short draws (and other issues) and what could be done about it.

Has the proposal of awarding points only for wins in tournaments even
been discussed? It would certainly lower the number of grandmaster
draws in tournaments and even if you draw in a hard fought game you
still get zero points as a point would only be given if you *defeat*
your opponent.

Comments?
