Some chess tournaments make draws worth ⅓ instead of ½ to incentive aggressive play, but they seem to end up with similar draw rates as normal tournaments. Of course, that wouldn't work at all for a 1v1 event like the WCC, it would probably just make it ~50% longer. The main thing to decrease draws seems to be shorter time format, but the Blitz championship seems to attract less attention than the classical, and of course blunders are more likely, which is a double edged sword. Maybe the next WCC will be more exciting, since Alireza probably has far better winning odds, or if Magnus doesn't compete then the challengers won't be terrified into playing 14 Berlin draw lines. (For those who don't know why Magnus may not compete: https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/chess/only-alireza-firouzja-as-title-contender-interests-magnus-carlsen-7673343/ https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/chess/only-alireza-... - first decent looking article I found)
