I think it is a good idea for Chess. Some time ago I tried this rule in a mixed tournament (humans and computers) at my web site (Ponti Chess Club: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Track/7733/index.html). Some people did not agree - they said computers would win very easily. I think this is true. Maybe the best idea for CBF...soccer is quite different, isn't it, Paulo? (I just don't remember how many games France draw in 1998 Fifa World Cup...). I think with 3 points for a win Kasparov would reach 3000 ELO easily... and drawmasters such as Kramnik would loose at least 150 points! A. Ponti
