In tournaments using the Swiss system, artificial (arranged) draws are possible and, in some cases, desirable for players. The conditions for this are created when players of approximately equal skill meet, each of whom has a satisfactory position in the tournament standings. In this case, it is not beneficial for the players to play to win, as in a competitive game, the probability of losing is higher, which means a significant loss of points. This situation provokes rivals into an explicit or "silent" agreement: to start the game, play easily and without complications, and agree to a draw on the second or third dozen moves, regardless of the current situation. As a result, both players will receive half a point, preserving their position without unnecessary risk, usually hoping to gain points in games against weaker opponents. Naturally, arranged draws are undesirable: they negatively affect the quality of the game, reduce interest in the tournament, and, consequently, the attractiveness of the tournaments for sponsors.
