i propose 0 for loss, 1 for draw, 2.00001 for a win.
the current system of 0 for loss, 1 for draw, 3 for a win, seems to not recognise the great draws that happen in chess. It also encourages people to go for a timeout win in a drawn situation, which noone really likes. The current system also is not expected by long term chess players familiar with the 0:1:2 regime.
this is a small adjustment for russ too make but he needs to get it right ...
of course the traditional 0 for loss, 1 for draw, 2 for a win, is another option, but leads to too many drawn scenarios.
