So why does anyone bother entering?  Perhaps because they /like playing
Chess/?  people who like playing will often like watching, and will
appreciate quality play whether or not it ends in a draw.  A draw is an
outcome reflecting similarly good play on both sides: it is fair and is
not necessarily dull.
