No, it alienates you and you assume that you reflect the views of the
`average' chess player.  I would rather imagine that the laws of chess
reflect the wishes of the `average' chess player -- after all, if the
m***** were clamouring for a version of chess without so many draws at
the top level, surely it would already exist?
