Chess is a game when white has a lot of ways to draw and the best players can play in a style that often avoid losing mistakes(at least with white). I even believe that there are a lot of games with no mistakes when the theoretical results was always a draw from the beginning. I even believe that 2000 players practically played games with no mistakes when they only traded pieces and avoided complications or went for repetition in the opening. Games with no mistakes do not mean prefering a complicated draw and not a simple draw. There are even theoretical lines when the game is finished with repetition in less than 20 moves and I believe that part of them include no mistakes. Uri
