GRANDMASTER DRAW

A quick and uninteresting draw. The term is used since the end of the 19th century caused by the appearance of a special tactic to win from the weakest players and to make a draw with the strongest ones. A draw up to a certain move without a special permission of an Arbiter was forbidden in many competitions… On its 33rd Congress of 1962, FIDE regulation committee ruled to reject any agreement for a draw before the 30th move without permission of the Arbiter. However three years later, on the 34th Congress, this restriction was annulled.(See drawing master)
