At the risk of looking stupid (I am used to that), I have a question.

I just read over game 18 of the world championship, and although I 
haven't played it out yet, something seems amiss.  Two pawns were
traded, and then a knight.  That's a draw???

It seems to me (naive though I be) that there should be some chances
for play for both sides.  If I paid to see this game, I'd want my
money back!  It seems that Karpov, with white, would strive a little
longer to try to save a match that is slipping through his fingers.

Or has chess become a game where, with reasonable play, a draw is more
or less inevetible?
