Dortmund and Aerosvit - Finito

Both Super GM tournaments have finished, with Kramnik and Ivanchuk emerging as winners.
The Dortmund event was probably to more disappointing of the 2, with a return to what some would consider the bad old days of "don't lose" chess. Kramnik finished with an impressive 5/7 (+3=4-0), but his 3 wins accounted for almost half the decisive games in the event. 75% of the 28 games were drawn, with Alekseev, Leko, Anand and Mamedyarov scoring one win each.
Aerosvit did a little better with 33% of the games ending in a result, although Svidler might have been sending a message to the Dortmund organisers with a +1=10-0 performance. Ivanchuk finished on 7.5/11 (+4=7-0), with Karjakin on 7 (+3=8).

Maybe chess should consider a change in the point system to encourage different play.

1 point for a win
1/3 for a draw.

The rating system could evan follow the concept. It's much harder and meanningful to win a game than to draw.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
