The chess tournament in London started today all 5 matches were draws.
Brother comment: Awesome
I think that just shows infinite mastery of the game.
There are no secrets in chess, therefore it is hard for a master to beat a master.

The more I see stuff like this, the more I prefer big open tournaments where the elites have to prove their mettle against the lower ranks and work their way to top positions.
When the top dogs just play each other and draw, they are merely maintaining ratings and preserving their invitations to future top closed events where the $$$ is.
Besides, big Opens give us potential upsets, and that adds excitement to it all.
and we have a winner !! Caruana finally gets a point...in the 4th round vs. Karjakin. Aronian came up with good idea..no draw offers until after the first time control..

Wonder what would happen if all rounds all games resulted in draws? ten first place shared prize?
