I don't understand the objective why one would want to do that.  The way ELO
ratings were defined by Dr. Elo, you would always factor drawn games in.  His
methodology does not allow for discarding drawn games.  Therfore, ratings
without drawn games would be without the same statistical significance as
developed under his system.
