I calculated the score from Fischer vs. Spassky, 1972 Chess World
Championship using the following Jeremy Good proposal:

Black Win: 4 points,
White Win: 3 points
Draw for Black: 2 points.
Draw for White: 1 point.
Loss: Zero point(s). 

Reults:
Fischer: 41    Spassky:  30     (Jeremy's system)
Fischer: 12.5  Spassky:   8.5  (Original system) 

Of course, White players would likely be less willing to draw knowing that
they are effectively going down a point... but black would be very happy to
play for a draw.

I briefly discussed this information with a near master friend of mine
moments ago.  He likes Jeremy's idea and mention that similar proposals
have been made before.  He also sees that the Swiss System is not a valid
platform for the new point system.

Best regards to all...
