Nonsense.

If there is enough time between the games humans do not get tired.
I also think that the time between games in kasparov-Junior was enough time.

My opinion is that every player should be allowed to offer a draw but the
opponent should get the draw offer only if a team of good chess players agree
that it is a draw.

In other cases the opponent should not get the draw offer and the game should
continue.
