I genuinely don't think I would. Okay, perhaps if I was playing a player of that strength, but not if I had the ability of Fischer. I mean, what had Fischer to lose by playing on? He'd won the money irrespective of the outcome, so he couldn't really lose as such. It'd be a totally different question if at least a draw was actually required to win the tournament/money. Then I'd definitely take the draw.
Anyone else see it that way? =|
