Capablanca Chess has about 16% draw rate between equal players, compared to orthodox Chess about 32%. (That doesn't account for the limit of near-perfect play, possibly with the aid of exhaustive opening theory that prevents mistakes before the game reaches the stage of a dead draw.)

Draw rates tend to fall for games within a group of players of very diverse strength, as many games will be a guaranteed win for the strongest player.
