Have Draws Increased At The Top? Sonas Says No
Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 6:10PM Have a look here, where ChessBase's favorite statistician Jeff Sonas claims that at the top the percentage of draws has only risen very slightly since the 1960s and has held even steadier for master chess in general. Further, the percentage of short draws (ones agreed to before move 25) has declined considerably since the 1980s, and that pre-dates the Sofia/Corsica rules.
As I've said a million times, don't exaggerate draws aren't a problem.
