A few thoughts:<p>- They say this is terrible for television, but I bet they love it! I wasn&#x27;t aware of this tournament until this story. TV tries its best to manufacture strife and drama.<p>- In Go you simply aren&#x27;t allowed to repeat a position (ko). I wonder how profoundly it would change chess if you simply weren&#x27;t allowed threefold repetition. Or if you weren&#x27;t allowed it within the first x moves?<p>- What if a draw earned you 0.4 points instead of 0.5? Maybe that doesn&#x27;t matter with so few games, or does it?
