Subject: It's time to award 3 points for a won game.

Hi CCC friends,

After playing through some of the very short "grandmaster" draws at Linares, I
feel that it's about time some of these tournament organisers started to award 3
points for a won game in an effort to get the players to try and win a game
instead of fearing a loss. Chess today, well at least at the stratospheric
heights of the "super-grandmasters", is far too technical and theory laden for
most of the 'general' public to really appreciate and most of it has already
been prepared and analysed at home. Something needs to be done to liven up the
game, before the machines take over!

Terry ;-)
