Would it be possible to play some experimental chess tournaments with football (soccer) kind of scoring system where you get 3 points for winning, 1 for draw and 0 for losing? This would reward players for seeking sharp positions and mastery of aggressive play. Such system obviously doesn't help directly in 1 on 1 matches, especially with these long time controls, but if for example canditates was played favouring aggresive players, maybe some of that practise and study could shape the matches in the actual World Championship too. It's more of an attempt to shape the overall style of play towards more crowd pleasing mindset rather than addressing the current issue right here and right now. Just to be clear, I do appreaciate the overwhelming finesse and complexity of chess and don't want to force in any kind of crowd pleaser just for the sake of it. However, right now even the top players seem to be rather disappointed by the outcomes and it's definitely a very tough and demanding competition to follow even for a dedicated casualish viewer. Such a scoring system has been used in the recent past. If I remember correctly it didn't change much. I wonder how tournaments would run if the point difference between a win and a draw were much larger (5 to 1 or even 10 to 1). Might still not change much, as a draw is also about preventing your opponent from getting a win. 1vs1 matches are easier to fix: make draws not count. Play a best of 5 or 7 where only decisive results count. The match might take longer, but the match strategy will at least change from "don't lose" to "must win". There is also quite a bit resistance to the 3-1-0 system, because in tourney systems like double round robin or similar, where you meet twice, this system encourages win trading. | ||

It just has gotten much more obvious recently. I barely ever play myself and i'm trash but i like the follow the wm. If people would just shut up about the CPU moves, stuff would still be just as exciting as before. | ||
