To someone at Kasparov's level, it may become evident that a draw is the highly likely outcome even before lesser lights, like us, see it. Draw agreements avoid extended meaningless play. i.e. they serve a useful purpose. This should not be ignored. On the other hand, maybe the sponsors might wish to pay for a demonstration of a lengthy endgame or never-ending middlegame maneuvering. That really seems unlikely if the sponsor is the software producer. Who wants to watch something like that? The games could go on forever! Boring, boring, boring. Bob D.
