what happens if a strong chess engine plays another strong engine ... do we expect each of them to continually evade defeat?

what ratio of draws to decisive results do we expect?

what about strong humans v humans?

seems to suggest that the top machines end up with lots of results ... not so many draws.

Ah, but god with white beat the devil with black in the Caro.

See chessbase and it was blitz. The devil was all smug sitting back in the chair telling god you can't beat me in 50 second. You're going to flag. God pointed at the clock, and the devil saw that there were increments. The devil made the clock, but god made the increment.

The devil got angry and vanished, 1-0 God.

Try a King's Indian Attack or a Blackmar-Diemer Gambit!

Naw, it's just not the same. Those aren't as drawish.
