If you look at the detailed results of the Cadaqués tornament for >example, Agreed. The draw quota in my tournaments is currently between 33 and 50%, used to be below 25% one year ago, below 20% two years ago. And I believe it will keep rising to about 75% in the next 2-3 years. (Examples from my recent tournament: Nimzo - Rebel 5 draws in 6 games Nimzo - Tiger 5 draws in 6 games Nimzo - Junior 4 draws in 6 games) --- Shep
