It doesn't matter, if there is a time increment, there are still rarely any draws. Maybe 1 in 15 or 20 games. Of course, I'm at the very bottom of that 1%, maybe things are somewhat different higher up.
And seriously speaking, the more time given, the higher the probability of a draw: games are usually won or lost because of blunders. If you have time to evaluate all moves and play very patiently, and your opponent does the same, draw is the likely result. But playing this way is boring.
- kzrdude 5y agoI see. I found the rapid world championship, and at the top level the number of draws is certainly higher. (And it's played with an increment). See this table for example: https://chess-results.com/tnr600852.aspx?lan=6&art=5&flag=30 https://chess-results.com/tnr600852.aspx?lan=6&art=5&flag=30 highlighting ½ with the search gives an idea of the number of draws.

- kzrdude 5y agoI agree, this is why I like rapid.
