I read with great interest Steve Giddins recent satirical post where he took to task the Kosintseva sisters, Tatiana and Nadezhda, for repeatedly drawing their games. I think it was not so much the draws but the way they fixed the draw using the same game which resulted in repetition each time.
In my opinion, agreeing a draw is not such a big crime as opposed to throwing a game, and I do not mean in the context of a mobile phone ringing ( he-who-we-shall-not-name-here should take note of the correct meaning of game throwing). Players draws because they want to avoid a loss and a share of the prize and standings. Other reasons for draws are the players are close friends and frequent team-mates or related as is the case here. But playing the same drawing game time after time maybe pushing it too far. The Kosintseva sisters should at least show some creativity :)

Pre draw the game is like taken MC...its your right, not proper to do it but normally boss prefer to close one eye
Drawing with same opponent with same moves is akin to take mc every Monday...cannotlah like that...abuse the MC already...
Talk about fixing the result, Remind me of a situation in Sukma Tae Kwan Do (if i am not mistaken) where one contestant purposely lose the game and nobody complain...well her opponent is her daughter!
ok, took mc is your right only if you are not healthy and certified by doctor....
