Sofia Rules

The 3rd round of the Gashimov Memorial saw the encounter of well known Super-Drawmeister Teimour Radjabov vs. The Artist, Anish Giri. They started off just like Goganov-Wojtaszek from last week, but then at move twelve the unthinkable happened and Radjabov deviated. Did he forget such a trivial line or was he even playing for a loss? Well, the answer is simple: No draws allowed before move 40!

Sorry, but you can’t come up with rules in order to force players to fight, because their motivation remains to be an inner fact after all.
