Should I or Shouldn't I????
I'll go against the trend and say that it depends on the level of player, if the mate is in sight or if you are just with a material disadvantage. At the level you are playing comebacks are quite common. If I think I still have a think chance of winning I don't go for the draw. Rating-wise it's not very efficient, but I prefer to lose it while trying than to keep the draw.

But, like I said, it depends if there is still a small chance for comeback or it's certain that you'll lose.

By all means take a draw when you can. I've heard people cry in other forums where they had a won game and the guy keeps moving his king forcing a draw. I laugh when someone doesn't understand why a player would force a draw rather than get beat. They are some of the funniest posts ever.

What about dusty?

And that quote has stuck with me for about 6 years, when my high school football team had to say it every day. We had a poster of it taped to our locker room wall, and would slap it before we took the field, much like the Notre dame tradition.

Rugby in the freezing fog is my abiding memory (your quote is better).

Don't for God's sake tackle anybody - because the ground is like concrete.

If you get the ball stick it under your jumper and slowly sidle up to the try line while groaning loadly to make them think you're just ill.

God, we were a ragtag team. I don't think we even cared about winning or losing. We just wanted to hit somebody. Or, I only wanted to hit somebody.
