Super GMs are a disgrace to the chess world

> Well, in today's era players just do draws and draws with agreement. No proper and original play occurs. Carlsen and others are just scared of losing rating points hence all of them just offer draw. Had Carlsen did not offer/accept draw, then he certainly wouldn't be number 1. The players just don't want to lose their position. This era is so poor.

For all of you people who think that grandmasters will play till the end your mad. The position you start with is basically always equal and you get draws most of the time. Unlike most players, grandmasters are GOOD at chess and they understand if they can win or not. It is a part of their strategy and few people in the form said it. Winning it top level is extremely hard because your opponents are well prepared and so are their GM opponents too! And they play for themselves not for us. So don't watch it if you don't like it.

Rewarding draws with 0.5 pt is just superobviously too much, considering all what happened in OTB tournaments... but I guess to change that humanity needs another 300 years of evolution...

If not wanting to lose is against the spirit of the game, are you claiming that the spirit of the game is to lose?

The minds of professional chess players are different from ours. I guess you'll understand why they make draws so quickly when you become a GM.

3-1-0 scoring has been tried in the past and wasn't popular, although I think it was tried again for one of the Champions Tour online rapid things with better results, so maybe? On the other hand, we also see a lot of draws in World Championships and other head-to-head matches, where the scoring wouldn't make any difference.

@RamblinDave
I had followed some games of previous Grand Prix but found them boring and hence I don't follow Grand Prix any more.

I never said that.
I said that leading to draw on agreement so early is against the spirit of game.

Have you seen games of the likes of Morphy, Lasker, Alekhine, Capablanca, Fisher, Tal, Keres, etc.
You will find those games very different from today's games. And those players who I mentioned never had a draw on agreement in few moves just for having their position in a tournament stable. Today's games are simply boring and unnatural but only a few players like Ding, Ian, MVL, Rajdabov keep the game alive!

All I know is that the games should not be recorded in databases expecting best play per individual games.

They can draw all they want. Play the administrative time control games all they, just don't put those games under competitive chess as individual games, in any database. Put the context if there is one, so that intelligent data can be used.

who would that hurt? the statistics on early draws? One could say there is another game (again not chess) of finding out instead of a referee if a draw is of tournament convenience or not, or guess what tournament strategy this might have served, but is that not contorted? why not be clear from the start and put more filtering information in databases?

The argument that perfect would be draw (yes or no does not matter), and that masters from outer-space would know game outcome without playing the game, seem weak to me. Is chess rational or not? is it mystical?
