If people want to know why so many games at the top level are dry riskless draws, it's because creative gusto is often rewarded with losses in time trouble as the level of defense is so strong you have to play like a computer to break through. I am still appreciating Topalov's attempt's to keep spicy play in these super GM games, he is proving that it is possible even in the computer age to find exciting lines in normal looking positions.
