I agree. Draws are a good thing in a game. Without them, it becomes a
lottery. A draw percentage of 30 between equal-strength players is
entirely acceptable.

It must not be much more than that, though. In Shatranj about 70% of all
games between equal players seems to end in a draw, and that is one aspect
that makes it very boring.
