A draw is half a point. So with first to 6.5, you win the match if you have one game win and 11 draws.

I'm talking about first to 6 wins. Like the 1984 Karpov vs. Kasparov: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=55015

What if you just have 13 draws? If you award any kind of points for draws, it seems like you're back to people aiming to draw.
