The present way of giving points is destructive. I mean you get 1/2 point for draw and 1 point for a win regardless. I propose GLADIATOR CHESS. You get zero points for draw. If you mate your opponent in N moves you get exp(-kN) points and the loser -exp(-kN) so that the game is always a zero sum game. The parameter k can be determined so that you get 0.10 points if you mate in 100 moves. This way there will no more draws, and people won’t resign lost positions, they will try to persevere as long as possible. Also, people will prefer mating attacks to working on small positional advantages.
