take a look at some of the boards English Tal is playing in the 1/0 sieges, does it look like someone is going to get a draw or win?
No one can hold it forever especially in a 1/0 seige.
Mind you I do like the idea of being able to "retire" unbeaten as it is not always possible to continue to take on these games.
Edit: I have just taken a board in the 0/21 seige from EveRyDay - Anything is possible!

OK his chances of retaining it are less but he can win it.
