>>9888675>Rules of a game don't work like that, they're engineered to give interesting outcomes.precisely, and a draw is a horribly uninteresting outcome.
I know it's difficult for chess players to grasp, but it doesnt have to be like that.
chess rules have changed many time historically to make the game more competitive / interesting; I see no reason why we shouldnt get rid of most draws by eliminating stalemates and perpetuals. and switch to chess960 to get rid of computer preparation while we're at it.
at top level, merely 3/10 games (30%) of games in international chess are decisive (ie non-draws).
at the same level of play in shogi, 99/100 (99%) of games are decisive.
at the same level in go, 100% of games are decisive (go doesnt have draws in most ruleset, just the occasional game (much less than 1%) that has to be repeated due to a weird repitition)
>>9888398>It makes the game more shit.so you have played the game with stalemate=loss-for-weaker-player rule for years I take it and made an informed comparison? nice, let ut hear more about it.
>Most draws aren't even stalemates.as the other anon said, endgames tend to be EXTREMELY drawing due to stalemate=draw shit.
without stalemate chucklefuckery, essentially all pawn-up vs lone king endgames are WINS.
fuck you and your half points.
