Point


I thought of something already about two years ago. It is close at hand considering the change that appeared within for instance the world of fotball (
am.eng. soccer). The chess should apply a system of 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. The time for change has come.

Go for more daring positions! Hurray for the excitement! It's fun and attracting more audience, if nothing else. It's a bit awkward to suggest that the chess itself would be of a higher quality. It's not for sure, but we would probably see more of chance-takings in serious matches and tournaments.

Defence play can be very creative and advanced. A strong defence can also lead to a win. The prominent attacking play should be one that at the same time includes a sufficient measure of defence. If nothing else because the defender doesn't get time to do anything else than to defend. In attack there is defence, and in defence there is attack. In positional elements there are tactical factors, and in tactical elements there are positional factors.

To dare is to win. Change is to dare. What say you?
