All the pairings of Round 3 of London Chess Classic have ended in a draw.

The fans are complaining about boring pairings, while players do not try to fight till the end. All the competitors have 1,5 points each.

After sharing points with Sergey Karjakin, Levon Aronian admitted that it would be better if the agreement on draw between the competitors was forbidden.

“Since there is no such a rule now, I can offer a draw to my competitor. Sooner or later one of the players will want to sharply change the situation and take some risks, turning the game around. So both players and fans will be able to see certain results in that case,” Aronian said.
