Yes, you are correct that it is not identical. However, the point is that in both cases, a GM is not playing for the win. In your example, at least the GM plays on if the other GM declines. But what is worse? Having a half dozen agreed upon draws in a 12 round tournament, or having three forfeits and three wins? I'm not sure there is that much of a difference. In both cases, the player is not playing to win every game. KarinsDad :)
